Free Goods Exchange Day is a community initiative where people give away items they no longer need and pick up things they can use — all for free. This event will be held on Saturday October 17th, 2026

The goal is to reduce waste, reuse useful items, and help neighbours in the community.

How does it work?

• Give away items: Residents can put out gently used items they no longer need.

• Take what you need: Anyone can pick up items that are available, free of charge.

• Keep items out of landfills: Reusing household goods helps reduce waste and supports the environment.

• Help the community: It gives useful items a second life and makes them available to people who need them.

Leaf & yard waste pick up will be on Thursday November 26, 2026. Please have it in biodegradable bags and to the curb by 7:00am for pick up. This is for ward 2 residents only.

You can take yard waste any time of the year to the dump as long as it is in biodegradable bags free of charge.
