Winnipeggers looking to give their unwanted items a new home are in luck – it is giveaway weekend in Winnipeg.

The city said spring curbside giveaway weekend is happening May 14 and 15.

"It’s a great opportunity to find a new owner for those reusable, unwanted items taking up space in your home, or to browse the curbs for some great finds," the city said in a release.

Those wanting to participate can put reusable unwanted items on the curb of their front street with a sticker or sign indicating they are free.

Winnipeggers are not allowed to put out items that may be unsafe, or are infested with bed bugs. Toilets with a flush volume of 13 litres or more are also not allowed.

Homeowners are asked to remove leftover items from the curb by dusk on Sunday.
