Community Curbside Giveaway
Saturday, April 16, 2022 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (rain or shine)

One person’s unwanted but reusable items are someone else’s treasure. During Curbside Giveaway Days, place used items that are in good condition on your property (next to the sidewalk or curb) for others to take. This initiative gives useful items a new life while keeping them out of the landfill. It also encourages recycling, builds a stronger community and contributes to a more sustainable city.
