Treasure Exchange Days in Thunder Bay

Are you searching for that special something? Want to get rid of an item you no longer need? Thunder Bay's Treasure Exchange Days are a great opportunity to exchange reusable household items, furniture, small appliances, toys, and more for free!

Treasure Exchange Days are held twice a year, during a weekend in June and in September.

How Treasure Exchange Days work
Clearly label items you wish to give away with the word "free." Place them at the curb after 5 p.m. on the Friday of the Treasure Exchange Days.

Keep items that are not giveaways, like bikes, toys and tools well away from the curb to prevent misunderstandings.

Over the weekend, tour your neighbourhood to see what great deals you can find at the curb.

Remove all uncollected items from the curb by 7 p.m. on the Sunday of Treasure Exchange Days. Items left at the curb are subject to enforcement as per City By-laws.

If your treasures are not claimed by other treasure-hunters, consider donating them to such local agencies as the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Salvation Army Thrift Store, Canadian Diabetes Association Clothesline and others.

The Treasure Exchange Days event is an action item from the Thunder Bay Solid Waste Management Strategy.
