Didn’t sell everything you wanted to at the yard sale last weekend? This upcoming weekend is the City of Ottawa’s Give Away Weekend. Set unwanted items at the curb on June 10th and June 11th. If your items are not taken, consider donating them or listing them on the web rather than throwing them in the garbage.
