Get ready for the next Curbside Giveaway Days!

June 21, 2022 10:00 a.m.
​Declutter your home or pick up something new on June 25 and 26

 

The next Curbside Giveaway Days in Vaughan are this weekend – Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26. This is your chance to declutter your home or discover something new at other participating properties!

The full schedule for Curbside Giveaway Days is as follows:

  • Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26
  • Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24
  • Saturday, Aug. 27 and Sunday, Aug. 28
  • Saturday, Sept. 24 and Sunday, Sept. 25
  • Saturday, Oct. 22 and Sunday, Oct. 23

To participate, mark gently used items “free” and place them curbside on each Curbside Giveaway Day, beginning at 7 a.m. If you live in a condo, connect with your property management to see if you can label items in the bulky waste room “free” for other residents to take before collection.

Any items that are not claimed must be brought in by 5 p.m. on Sunday. Items left at the curb after that time could result in a by-law violation.

Here are a few steps you can take to participate successfully:

  • Download and print a “FREE” curbside giveaway poster (PDF) for your items.
  • Only take items that are marked “free.”
  • Share pictures of your items using #VaughanCurbGiveaway on social media.
  • Keep items you do not want to give away close to your home or inside to avoid confusion.
  • Keep sidewalks and fire hydrants clear.
  • Respect private property and do not walk on people’s lawns or gardens.
  • Obey traffic laws at all times – please do not block traffic or driveways.

Not sure what you should be placing at the curb? Here are some examples:

  • Books, CDs and DVDs
  • Furniture and small appliances
  • Sports equipment and toys
  • Yard and gardening equipment (e.g. lawnmowers, shovels and rakes)
  • Kitchen gadgets, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans
  • Artwork and mirrors
  • Electronics
  • Clothing

What should not be placed at the curb?

Items that could be infested with bed bugs, such as mattresses, upholstered furniture or bedding linens. Baby walkers, car seats and other items listed on the Consumer Product Safety Bureau are not safe to give away.
