Goods Exchange Day is back in Owen Sound this weekend.
On Saturday, September 26th, you can put unwanted but usable household items out by the curb for people to pick up and take to a new home.
The City says residents should tie a white plastic bag to one of the items at the curb or place a sign that says “FREE” on the items.
According to the City, participating in Goods Exchange Day diverts usable items and materials from landfill disposal and is also a great way to offer your unwanted items to others without the having to host a garage sale.
The City is asking that anyone participating in the Goods Exchange Day please follow the guidelines to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Wipe all items with disinfectant before placing them at the side of the curb.
Keep at least 2m (6ft) distance from others.
Wash and disinfect all items before use if possible.
Wash your hands when you return home from bargain hunting.
Popular Goods Exchange Day items include sporting goods, furniture, small appliances, books, art, tools, toys, doors, sinks and windows.
The City says anything that does not find a new home must be taken back inside by 6 p.m. the same day.
