The next Goods Exchange Day will take place on Saturday, July 23, 2022. Residents are invited to put gently-used items that are no longer needed at the curb for other members of the community to pick up and reuse.

Popular Goods Exchange Day items include sporting goods, furniture, small appliances, books, art, tools, toys, doors, sinks, windows, etc.

Anything that does not find a new home must be taken back inside by 6:00 p.m. the same day.

To ensure that items at the curb are intended as Goods Exchange Day items, please tie a white plastic bag to one of the items or attach a sign that says “FREE”.

Participating in Goods Exchange Day diverts usable items and materials from ending up in the landfill. It is also a great way to offer your unwanted items to others in the community without the hassle of hosting a garage sale.

As always, please drive carefully, watch for pedestrians, and obey traffic laws when searching for curbside bargains.
