by The City of Calgary
On September 6 and 7, 2025, join the city-wide Curbside Treasure Hunt by setting gently used items on your curb, marked “free” for neighbours to take. It’s a fun and easy way to give your things a second life and keep usable items out of the landfill.
How It Works
Clear the Clutter
Find gently used items you no longer need—books, toys, small furniture, electronics, etc.
Label It “Free”
Clearly mark each item with a “Free” sign. Only labeled items are part of the event. Download signs at calgary.ca/treasurehunt.
Set It Out
Place your items neatly at the curb Saturday morning.
Treasure Hunt!
Explore your neighbourhood and discover free finds all weekend long.
Wrap Up by 5:00 pm Sunday
Take in anything left and consider donating to a local charity or bring it by the Community Cleanup before 2:00 pm on Saturday.
For safety reasons, please don’t put out items that could be hazardous or not safe to reuse, such as:
• Mattresses
• Toilets
• Baby gear or safety equipment that may not meet current standards
Do you live in a condo or apartment? You can participate as well! Coordinate with your property manager to establish a shared drop-off location.
Let’s keep good things out of the landfill and in the community—happy treasure hunting!
