Fall curbside Giveaway Days are back!
Happening in Belleville and Quinte West, Giveaway days are a way for residents to reduce waste and divert unwanted things from landfills by giving gently-used items new life with new owners.
Saturday, Oct. 18 and Sunday, Oct. 19, just ahead of Waste Reduction Week.
Have a look around your home for things you no longer want or need and place your items in good condition at the curbside for others to take. Giveaway runs both days from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (please bring any remaining items back inside after 8 p.m.)
Here are some suggestions for appropriate items to give away:

DVDs
Books
Furniture
Home decor
Small appliances
Kitchen items
Construction materials

The Consumer Product Safety Directorate of Health Canada advises against giving away cribs, car seats, strollers, bath seats and playpens to avoid unsafe use.
