Spring cleaning? Take part in Curbside Giveaway Day on May 4
Are you ready to declutter and give new life to household items? Don't miss out on Curbside Giveaway Day on
May 4 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.!

Curbside Giveaway Day is an event organized in co-operation with the local municipalities, where residents exchange unwanted household items for pre-loved items they’ve been wanting–all for free. Bring your gently used items to your curb, from clothing to household goods, and find new treasures while connecting with neighbours. At the end of Giveaway Day, residents will return unclaimed items to their home.

This initiative supports a circular economy where nothing is wasted, recovering as much value as possible from resources by reusing, repairing, refurbishing, remanufacturing, or repurposing products and materials before they are recycled or thrown out.

For more details about the event, visit durham.ca/CurbsideGiveaway.
