The City of Ottawa is bringing back Giveaway Weekend on Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31, 2026. On these days, residents can place unwanted but usable household goods at the curb for others to take for free.
Place your gently used, unwanted items at the curb and let someone else give them a second life. Then, explore what your neighbours have put out because their trash may be your treasure!
Residents are asked to bring any uncollected items back inside at the end of the day. Items that are not taken can be donated to charitable organizations, shared through your local Buy Nothing Facebook group or posted on other free exchange websites. For ways to donate bulky items or textiles, and quick tips to reduce waste, visit: ottawa.ca/WasteReduction.
Declutter your home while giving items that are in good condition a second life and helping neighbours find hidden treasures they may love. Learn more at ottawa.ca/Giveaway
