Kick it to the Curb

Kick it to the Curb is a city-wide event to help Red Deerians reduce and reuse. Place your unwanted but usable items at the front of your property marked with a ‘FREE’ sign. Then explore curbsides around the city to find new-to-you treasures that are marked with a ‘FREE’ sign. 

Kick it to the Curb is held the third full weekend of the month from May through October.

Safety

Health Canada advises you to be aware of the potential risks of acquiring second-hand items. Learn more about what items to avoid, such as car seats, helmets, and some toys.

Giving items away

  • ‌Place unwanted, sanitized items at the front of your property. 
  • Mark items with the word "FREE" using masking tape, stickers, or FREE tags (pdf) .
  • Ensure anything you want to keep is well away from your give-away items.
  • 'Advertise' your items on social media using #RDKickIt2023
  • At the end of the weekend bring any uncollected items back into your home. They can be donated to a charity such as Habitat for Humanity, sold or given away on websites such as Kijiji and Freecycle.

Taking items

  • Take only the items at the curb marked "FREE".
  • Respect property; don't walk or drive on lawns or gardens.
  • Don't discard items on another property.
  • Sanitize items before bringing them into your home.

Trash to Treasure Swap Meet

Kerry Wood Nature Centre hosts a Trash to Treasure Swap Meet on the same weekends as Kick it to the Curb. On these weekends take your small, usable items to Kerry Wood Nature Centre and browse for new-to-you treasures. The Swap Meet runs from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. for the May - August events and 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. for the September - October events. No large pieces of furniture, please.
