You can put unwanted goods–including furniture–on the curb this weekend in Niagara Falls
Published April 14, 2023 at 10:11 am
If you want to give some gently-used goods to the community (and maybe pick up a few new-to-you things yourself), you might be pleased to hear that the first community curbside giveaway of 2023 is happening this Saturday (April 15) in Niagara Falls.
The giveaway, which will happen again on Oct. 21, will run from 7 am until 5 pm.
During curbside giveaway days, residents are encouraged to place used items in good condition on their 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,” the City said in a news release.
Residents can mark the items as “FREE” with a complimentary Community Curbside Giveaway Sign (or create their own). People can also donate any leftover items to a local charity or schedule a large item collection with the Niagara Region.
Residents are encouraged to share their participation in the initiative on social media.
