Curb Appeal

Filed Under Freebies | Comments Off

Free StuffIn our continuing quest to find the best ways to find what you want and you need for less money, I have promised to write more on yard sales and other clever ideas as they come up.  I would therefore like to pass along an email I received from reader Mike Morone from upstate New York.  Mike is spearheading a movement called Curb Day, with a national call to the streets to find new homes for all things unused and unwanted.

Here’s his idea:

Nation-wide “Curb Day” – October 24, 2009

Unclutter your Life

What’s rusting in your garage?  On Curb Day, people are encouraged to unclutter their homes by bringing to their curbs durable goods that are safe, legal, and valuable to others. Acceptable items include sporting goods, electronics, tools, books, toys, shoes, clothing, plants, building materials, furniture, and more.

People all over the country will be out and about that weekend, picking up these items for free.

Curb Day will be a fun and efficient way to remove clutter and provide free valuable items to others. It will also reduce the number of items that wind up in landfills.

Curb Day will occur twice per year, in October and May. It will supplement resources like Freecycle, Craig’s List, eBay, and second-hand stores.

Please help by:

  • Publishing an article about Curb Day (done!)
  • Sending this email to all your colleagues
  • Marking your calendar for October 24th to bring out your unneeded possessions
  • Asking elected officials to grant a temporary variance to rules that prohibit this activity
  • Sending us your ideas, stories, and photos of items you’ve picked up in the past

Learn more about Curb Day and sign in for updates at http://www.curbday.com/.

Well, Mike, we love your idea and will do our part to spread the word.  Please keep us posted on your progress.
