The second of three ‘Goods Exchange Days’ for 2019 will be taking place on Saturday, July 20, 2019.

Goods Exchange Day diverts usable items and materials from landfill disposal. It is also a great way to offer your unwanted items to others without the hassle

of hosting a garage sale.

City residents are invited to place unwanted, but still usable items at the curb in front of their homes after 8:00pm on Saturday, July 20. If you are looking for something, tour around the city and pick up items that can be re-used.

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 6:00pm.

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

As always, residents are reminded to please drive carefully, watch for pedestrians, and obey traffic laws in their search for curbside bargains.
