The idea

We all own stuff we don't need. Across the globe, this represents billions of valuable items that others would benefit from.
Let's make it easy to give this stuff away with a fun event.
Twice each year, in May and September, people are encouraged to place these items on their curb as donations to others.
The result is a fun event/holiday called Give Your Stuff Away Day™.

Halifax, CA does it in October, calling it Curbside Giveaway Weekend.
For years, Winnipeg has done it, calling their events Giveaway Weekends.
The neighborhood of Sawyer Hill Ecovillage does it as well.
So does Yampa Valley, CO, Shurgard, UK, Steyning, UK, and other places I am not aware of. What about your city?

About the founder
Give Your Stuff Away Day™ was conceived by Mike Morone of Rochester, NY USA in 2009. He is an almost daily dumpster diver and minimalist. From 1997 to 2007, he recycled 2500 computers and gave them to his students and others in need.
Mike needs help in promoting this event in your area. Please email or call 1+ (585) 749-5107 if you can help.
