What Does "Curb Alert" Mean?
"Free item(s) at curbside."
In the context of local listings, a "Curb Alert" is a listing for an item or item(s) for free at the side of the road. The listing includes an address and pictures of what's there. Nothing is reserved, so whoever gets to the address first gets the item(s).
