Curbside Treasure Hunt: One Weekend, Countless Finds.
The city of Calgary is hosting a 'Curbside Treasure Hunt' weekend where residents can leave unwanted items on their curbs for neighbors to take for free. The initiative aims to reduce landfill waste and encourage community engagement through the reuse of household goods.

Curbside Treasure Hunt: One Weekend, Countless Finds.
On September 12 and 13, join the city-wide Curbside Treasure Hunt! Set out gently used items on your curb and label them with a sign saying “free” for neighbours to take and/or explore your neighbourhood for free finds as well. It’s a fun and easy way to give your things a second life and keep usable items out of the landfill.
Look around your home for items you no longer need, but someone else might love.
Clearly mark each item with a “FREE” sign so people know it’s part of the Treasure Hunt. Download a template at calgary.ca/treasurehunt.
Place your items neatly at the curb Saturday morning.
Remove items that are NOT part of the hunt.
