Stories from HRM's 1st Curbside Giveaway

I love the Curbside Giveaway!  It is a wonderful idea... great way to get an entire city to help reuse items instead of them going to a waste site.  I found a great tricycle for my little one.  He has out grown his push toy, and not yet big enough for his larger tricycle, so this was a great 'in-between' trike for him :)  Thanks Curbside Giveaway!

We wanted to be sure to share with HRM how successful our recycling efforts were today. We put out a pallet full of items and all of them, aside from literally a couple of picture frames, went in one day. We had ceramic tiles, file cabinets, bed headboard, old bottles, typewriter, speakers, car parts. etc.

Please continue this great initiative and people in HRM will come on side more and more as efforts like today continue.

I would have to say that I was so excited for the curbside giveaway! We had been looking for a set of blinds to fit our odd shaped kitchen window but no stores carried them! Guess what? We found a set on the curb!  They fit perfect!  I can not wait until the next curbside giveaway!

I cannot thank the people of HRM enough for helping with my wish list.  It has really made my year not to mention put big smiles on the childrens faces. Not only did I find wonderful items that our family will use, I had a lot of fun talking with other treasure hunters, it was like Halloween in June. Can't wait until next year!

We were thrilled to not to put these treasures into the garbage and I think our neighbours and passers by were happy to have these at their homes. We also had a chance to talk to neighbours we havent had the chance to really talk to since last summer.
