Goods Exchange Day April 23 In Owen Sound

Owen Sound, Ontario – Friday April 15, 2016 – The first of three Goods Exchange Days for

2016 will be taking place on Saturday April 23. It is like a City-wide free yard sale.

Goods Exchange Day is an enjoyable way to divert usable items and materials from landfill

disposal. It is also a great way to remove unwanted items without hosting your own garage

sale.

Place your unwanted but still usable items at the curb in front of your home after 8:00 AM on

Saturday April 23. Popular Goods Exchange Day items include sporting goods, furniture, small

appliances, books, art, tools, toys, doors, sinks, windows etc. Anything that does not find a new

home must be taken back in by 6:00 PM as there will be no special municipal collection.

In order to ensure that items at the curb are indeed intended as Goods Exchange Day items, we

ask that residents tie a white plastic bag to one of the items at the curb.

Residents are reminded to please drive carefully, watch for pedestrians and obey traffic laws in

your quest for curbside bargains.
