Popular “street shopping” weekend reveals some amazing finds
Time to clean up that clutter and take it out to the curb. Saturday May 13 and Sunday May 14 are FREE WEEKEND giveaway days.
It’s a great opportunity for Winnipeg residents to recycle items that can be useful to someone else. It’s almost like the entire city becomes one giant recycling centre for two days.
Now to make it work the city has put a few rules in place.
- Place unwanted household items at the curb on your front street.
- Label each item with a FREE sticker or sign.
- Store items out of sight that you don’t want to give away.
- Remove leftover items from the curb by dusk on Sunday.
- Take only the items at the curb marked “FREE.”
- Check all items closely to ensure they are safe and in good condition before you put them in your vehicle or bring them into your home.
- Don’t walk or drive on private lawns or gardens.
- Don’t discard any items on private property.
- Obey the traffic laws at all times (e.g., don’t block traffic, park illegally or block driveways with your vehicle).
- Watch out for children
Do NOT put out the following items:
- Items that could be unsafe
- Items that could harbour bed bugs (e.g., mattresses, furniture, bedding)
- Toilets (with a flush volume of 13 litres or more)
