- Download and print a “FREE” curbside giveaway poster (PDF) to place on your items.
- Keep items you do not want to give away close to your home or inside to avoid confusion.
- Keep sidewalks and fire hydrants clear.
- Only take items that are marked “free.”
- Respect private property and do not walk on people’s lawns or gardens.
- Obey traffic laws at all times – please do not block traffic or driveways.
