Community-Wide Garage Sale

Ponoka’s annual ‘Kick It to the Curb’ event starts October 12

Oct 2, 2020 | 2:07 PM

Ponoka residents are invited to turn unwanted items into somebody else’s treasure during Kick It to the Curb Week from Oct. 12 – 17.

Residents are invited to place sanitized items they wish to give away in their front yard with a ‘FREE’ sign attached to them. People can then come by and pick up any items they would like to bring home.

At the end of the weekend, residents are asked to bring any uncollected items back into their home. They are encouraged to consider donating these items to a local charity or thrift shop rather than throwing them away.

Shoppers are asked to please respect others’ property and avoid driving or walking on gardens or neighbouring lawns. Due to COVID-19, it is also recommended to sanitize new-to-you items before bringing them home.

Citizens are asked to please be aware of and obey public health recommendations, including maintaining a two metre distance between yourself and others, staying home if you feel sick and avoiding touching your face.

Kick it to the Curb Week promotes reuse and recycling. It’s like a community-wide garage sale, except everything is free for the taking.

Happy treasure hunting!
