Nanaimo city-wide swap meet aims to ease up on landfill

NANAIMO — Operating since the early 2000s, a city-wide swap meet will see items free to pick up throughout curbs in Nanaimo.

Reuse Rendezvous allows others to take advantage of unwanted items, while also preventing items from being disposed in the landfill.

The City of Nanaimo event invites participants to place their clean, reusable items at the curb in front of their homes, clearly marking them with a ‘FREE’ sign, on Saturday July 18 and Sunday July 19.

Participants are asked to keep sidewalks, roadways and bike lanes clear.
