Before throwing away unwanted, gently used items, give them a new life through the City of Vaughan's Curbside Giveaway Days! There is only one weekend left to participate: Saturday, Oct. 22 and Sunday, Oct. 23.
To join in, mark your items "free" and place them at the curb on each Curbside Giveaway Day, beginning at 7 a.m., for others in your neighbourhood to come and take. Then, visit other participating properties to see what they have to offer! If you live in a condo, connect with your property management to see if you can label items in the bulky item waste room "free" for other residents to take before collection.
Items not claimed must be brought in by 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23. Items left at the curb after that time could result in a by-law violation.
Here are some more steps you can take to participate successfully:
