City officials are billing it as a one day, city-wide “free” yard sale and a way for all residents to actively participate in re-using waste.
Goods Exchange Day will take place Saturday, September 23 from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm and it helps protect the environment in two ways. Firstly, it cuts down on garbage that would otherwise end up in the City’s landfill, and additionally, re-using items saves the energy and the environmental impact of producing new items.
Residents are encouraged to place unwanted household items at the curbside or end of the driveway. Usable furniture, clothing, books, tools, sporting goods and toys are examples of items that should be placed out for exchange.
The City of North Bay advises that leftover items must be removed by 6:00 pm. There will be no special trash collection that day.
