2026 Kick it to the Curb will be held on Saturday, May 16, and Sunday, May 17
Don’t put your useful but unwanted items in the garbage! Give them another life by giving them away during Kick it to the Curb!
Kick it to the Curb is a city-wide event to help Wetaskiwin residents reduce and reuse. Place your unwanted but usable items at the front of your property marked with a ‘FREE’ sign. Then explore curbsides around the city to find new-to-you treasures that are marked with a ‘FREE’ sign. Ensure anything you want to keep is well away from your give-away items.
Take only the items at the curb marked 'FREE'. Respect property — don’t walk or drive on lawns or gardens. Don’t discard items on another property. Items not collected are the resident’s responsibility to remove by Sunday evening. Failure to do so could result in a fine. The City does not collect items left out and not taken away.

Step 1: Place unwanted, sanitized items at the front of your property.
Step 2: Mark items with the word 'FREE' using masking tape or stickers.
Step 3: Ensure anything you want to keep is far away from the items you are giving away.
Step 4: Remove any unclaimed items from the curb by Sunday evening.
The intention of this event is for residents to give away their unwanted items that are still in good, usable condition and for other residents to find a few new-to-them items for their own personal use. Please do not collect items for resale! If you have leftover items after the weekend, feel free to contact one of the local second-hand stores to see if they would like to take your items, or dispose of them in another approved way (sell, recycle, or take to the landfill).
