Spring cleaners can put unwanted toys to sporting goods at the curb during a Nanaimo-wide reuse event this April.
Reuse Rendezvous is Saturday and Sunday (April 8-9).
Residents can leave out household items at the curb, like books, sporting goods, toys and furniture, for bargain hunters to find during the longest-running reuse event, a City of Nanaimo press release shows.
“The Reuse Rendezvous event is a perfect opportunity for residents to have a spring clean and give unwanted but usable household items a new lease on life,” said Charlotte Davis, city manager of sanitation and recycling. “By reusing items residents are diverting waste from landfill and protecting resources.
“I hope residents take the time to join in, have some fun and grab some great finds.”
Residents mark curbside items with a free tag, and remove and dispose of any leftovers after April 9. The city asks treasure seekers drive carefully, watch for children and respect private and public property.
