Community Curbside Giveaway 2022

NIAGARA FALLS, ON - The October 2022 Community Curbside Giveaway is fast approaching! Saturday, October 22, 2022, from 7 AM to 5 PM, rain or shine, Niagara Falls residents are encouraged to recycle unwanted, reusable items in the spirit of community and sustainability.

To participate, residents can place used items in good condition on their property for others to take. Mark your items as free with Community Curbside signage found on the City's website (or create your own!) This initiative gives objects a new life while keeping them out of landfills. It also encourages recycling, builds a stronger community, and contributes to a more sustainable city.

Promote your items locally using the City of Niagara Falls Curbside Giveaway Facebook event page, or share photos on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #nfcurbside.

Materials must be removed from the curb by 7 PM Saturday to avoid by-law violations (and potential fines.) The City will not collect any items left at the curb. If you wish to donate any leftover items: contact a local charity or schedule a large item collection with the Niagara Region.

Keep objects you do not want to give away close to or inside your property to avoid confusion.
Giveaway Program items should still be in good condition for re-use.
Keep sidewalks and fire hydrants clear.
Obey traffic laws at all times (e.g., do not block traffic, park illegally or block other residents' driveways).
Materials must be removed from the curb by 7 PM Saturday to avoid by-law violations (and potential fines).
