The City of Thunder Bay’s popular Treasure Exchange Days return on June 18 and 19, giving residents a chance to discover one-of-a-kind treasures while reducing waste.
Anyone with gently-used items that they wish to give away can leave them out on the curb any time after 5 pm, on Friday, June 17. Clearly label the items FREE.
Over the weekend, residents are encouraged to tour their neighbourhoods to see what treasures they can find.
“This is our fourth Treasure Exchange Days event,” said Jason Sherband, Manager – Solid Waste & Recycling Services. “The events held last spring and fall were very popular among City residents, and we’re excited to bring it back again this year.”
“Items to leave out may include sporting goods, small appliances, books, art, tools, toys and furniture. Remember to keep items that aren’t giveaways – such as bikes, toys and tools – well away from the curb to avoid misunderstandings,” added Sherband.
Anything that isn’t taken must be removed from the curb by Sunday, June 19 at 7 pm. Items left at the curb are subject to enforcement as per City By-laws.
They will not be collected by the City and must be taken in or delivered and donated to second hand/re-use shops.
Treasure Exchange Days are an action item from the Solid Waste Management Strategy and supports our community’s efforts to reduce waste.
