What's different about Garage Sale Trail?
You can host a garage sale any weekend of the year but being a part of Garage Sale Trail makes things just a little bit more special.
🎩Tips, tricks and free promo materials - with free registration, how-to guides, sale tips and promotional materials provided, it’s garage sales made easy.
♻️ Make a bigger impact - As part of a national event with huge media coverage and promotion, your sale becomes more than just a clear-out. In 2024, together we kept 418 tonnes of good stuff in use and out of landfill.
✊🏽 Be part of a movement - there's something really special about knowing you're part of a community of people all simultaneously garage sale-ing over two big weekends. Take a look at the hashtag to see what we mean.
It's free and open to everyone - homes, units, community groups, whole streets, schools and local businesses.
Setting up your listing takes less than five minutes, but the memories (and the bargains) can last forever.
So, in the immortal words of Gwen Stefani, what are you waiting for?
