Kick it to the Curb Day?

This could be a day set aside and advertised where people in a neighborhood with Free items put them out on the same day. The number of people looking for Free items is high that day and ensures that most of the items will be gone at the end of the day. It's a great way to recycle items. Highland currently does not have a day, but if there is enough interest we could do it the same day as GarageFest in the future. Let us know what you think with a comment or e-mail hdc@visi.com.
