Looking to clear out some garage space, or thrift some free household items? Winnipeg’s next curbside Giveaway Weekend is just around the corner.
On Sept 14 and 15, city officials said residents can put well-kept items on the curb in front of their homes.
Items should be marked as free and any leftover items must be removed Sunday evening, the city said.
Thrifters are also reminded to obey traffic laws, stay off private lawns and gardens, and check items to make sure they’re safe and in good condition.

“Giveaway Weekend is not only about decluttering items, it’s about reducing the waste in our landfills by giving others the opportunity to reuse unwanted treasures,” said Evan Duncan, chairperson of the standing policy committee on water and waste, and environment.
“I encourage residents to take time to go through their belongings and consider whether or not it can be rehomed. This is another way Winnipeggers can do their part to protect the environment,” he said.
