Guelph’s fall Goods Exchange Weekend is September 2 to 5.
Residents looking to get rid of unwanted household items or pick up gently-used pieces such as furniture, appliances, and toys are encouraged to participate in the Goods Exchange Weekend.

To participate in this free community re-use event, residents are asked to follow these simple tips:

· Clearly label items you wish to give away as “Free” and place them at the curb after 5 p.m. on Friday, September 2.

· Prevent misunderstandings by ensuring items such as children’s bikes, toys, and gardening tools are not accidentally left near the curb.

· Over the weekend, tour your neighbourhood to see what great finds are at the curb.

· Remove items that were not picked up from your curb by 7 p.m. on Monday, September 5. Items left at the curb may be subject to a fine or cleanup fee under the Waste Management By-law.

Goods Exchange Weekends take place in the spring (May) and fall (September) each year.

Bulky Item Collection Program

Large items, such as furniture and appliances, are not collected as part of regular weekly curbside collection. Residents who miss the Goods Exchange Weekend can make arrangements to have large items picked up at the curb through the City’s user-pay Bulky Item Collection Program.
