Don't want it?
Don't need it?
Now is your chance to get rid of it.
This weekend the Sustainable Environment Network Society (SENS) will be hosting another Curbside Giveaway Weekend.
The aim is to reduce the amount of waste ending up in the landfill by diverting unwanted, but still good, items to be re-used by others.
Reusing household items instead of discarding them reduces the pressure on landfill facilities, is a great way to get rid of under-used items, and perhaps find some great free items of your own.
Giveaway items may include things such as: books, CDs, DVDs, furniture, small appliances, sports equipment, toys, tools, yard and gardening supplies, bikes, construction materials, paint, electronics, clothing, art materials, etc.
Rules for setting out items:
All free items must be placed at the curb on your front street on Saturday morning
Label items with a ‘Free’ sign
Ensure items you do not want to give away are far away from the curb
Remove leftover/unclaimed items from the curb by dusk on Sunday
Giveaway items should still be in good condition for re-use
Unclaimed items left at the curb will not be picked up with regular garbage collection
Giveaway etiquette:
Respect other people’s property – don’t walk or drive on lawns, gardens or go up driveways
Take only the treasures marked free at the curb
Please don’t discard previously picked up treasures on other people’s lawn
