BCL's Give Away Day is a chance for residents to get rid of used items that others might like. The event is for all residents of Baturyn, Canossa, Chambery, Elsinore, and Rapperswill.It's like a garage sale, but without the money or hassle. Everything you place at the end of your driveway or lawn on the specified day is free for others to pick up. Clearly label items you wish to give away as “FREE” and place them at the curb. Items can be placed at the curb starting at 8am; event starts at 9am. Post a picture of your items, along with your address and #GiveAwayBCL in BCL's Facebook event for Give Away Day for maximum exposure.
Apart from finding things for free, you also benefit by cleaning your home of unwanted items. This helps support a circular economy, which is a movement toward greener, more sustainable options, by considering using items in new ways so they can be reused, and sharing things instead of throwing them out.
