Trash to Treasure Day - June 3, 2023

Are you searching for that special treasure? Do you want to get rid of items you no longer need? Get ready to turn your trash to treasure.

• Collect unwanted items and place them by the curb (but not in the street) where treasure hunters can access them without disrupting traffic.
• Label items you wish to give away with a sign that reads "free" to let treasure hunters know that your items may be taken.
• Keep items that are not giveaways (for example, bikes, toys, and tools) away from the curb to prevent misunderstandings.
• Tour your neighbourhood to see what treasures you can find at the curb.
• Remove all uncollected items from the curb by 9 p.m. on Trash to Treasure Day. Items left at the curb are subject to enforcement as per City By-laws.
• Do not offer unsafe items like baby cribs, walkers, items with sharp edges or household hazardous waste items.
• If your treasures are not claimed by other treasure hunters, consider donating them to local agencies such as the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Visit the Clean North website for a list of where to recycle and donate items.
