Front Porch: Curb your stuff

Published 10:34 pm Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Saturday is Curb Day. It’s a national day to offer free stuff to others.

Take your unwanted but still usable possessions to the curb for others to cart off for free. Allowable items include sporting goods, electronics, tools, household furnishings, books, toys, shoes, clothing, plants, building materials, furniture and durable goods.

Remove or dispose of items that are not picked up by others.
