This weekend is Winnipeg's Giveaway Weekend for the spring. (I always love these, both getting rid of things and finding a few gems to do artsy things with or repurpose). The city has a website with more info on it. They suggest leaving items out like:

  • books, CDs and DVDs
  • furniture and small appliances
  • sports equipment and toys
  • tools
  • yard and gardening equipment (e.g., lawn mowers, snow throwers, rakes, shovels)
  • kitchen gadgets, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans
  • unwanted gifts
  • construction material including drywall and hardware (e.g., nails, bolts and screws)
  • electronics
  • clothing
  • paint

So do some spring cleaning and put whatever you want to give away at the front curb marked "free". Most of the time things are gone very quickly, even within the first hour of being put out. Oh, and I really appreciate any of the people who put out lights/lamps with the glass chandelier drops b/c I repurpose those like crazy.
