The TIOLI shed is now OPEN for the 2023 season!
TIOLI (Take It Or Leave It) shed is open Saturdays 10-12 from May-October in the Bedford Hills Train Station Parking Lot (behind the train station by Rt 117). When the shed is closed, visit the TIOLI Facebook Group!
Bedford residents may drop off unwanted household items that are still in good/working condition, or pick up and repurpose some. Anyone may come take items – free! The TIOLI Shed is a wonderful way to recycle and reuse items, and reduce consumption and waste.
Please note the NEW donation and “shopping” instructions for 2023.
Donations: Please park your car and walk your donations over to the beige tent. If you are unable to drop off your own donations, a volunteer can assist you. If we have too many donations to store in the shed at the end of the day, we may stop taking donations early.
Visitors: Please sign in at the Bedford 2030 welcome table and shop for a maximum of 20 minutes. This allows everyone to have equal opportunity to benefit from the shed. You will exit the same way you enter.
We appreciate your patience.
