Residents in Blackfalds, Alberta, can participate in the town’s Kick it to the Curb event on Sunday, May 24, 2026, which offers an opportunity for neighbours to exchange unwanted items. From 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, residents may place items they no longer need at the edge of their property with a sign marked FREE for others to claim.

The Town of Blackfalds organized this event to support community cleanup efforts. No registration is required to participate, though the town asks that any items remaining at the end of the day be removed from the curb by the property owner.

This event follows a Community Garage Sale occurring on Saturday, May 23, 2026, creating a full weekend of community sharing. These activities are separate from the town’s formal Spring Round-Up and Fall Round-Up programs, which provide different services for household item collection.

Located along Highway 2A, 13.5 km north of Red Deer, Blackfalds continues to grow as a community. According to the town, the municipality reached a population of 11,415 as of 2024, making it one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada.
