During Callander’s FreeCycle Weekend, place used items that are in good condition on your property next to the sidewalk or curb for others to take. This gives older items new life and keeps them out of landfills, which helps us contribute to a more sustainable community and maintain longevity in our landfills.
Please only leave out items in usable condition
FreeCycle Weekend Free Item Signs are available to download here. Please attach these to your items to reduce any confusion over which items are free.
All goods need to be removed from the curb by Sunday at 6 pm
We’ve planned for this to take place the weekend before fall clean-up days, in case residents wish to place any remaining items back on the curb for their designated curbside pickup day

Small appliances, kitchen gadgets, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans
