Units & apartment blocks
Why it’s for you: Living in a unit doesn’t mean you miss out. Garage Sale Trail is a great way to connect with neighbours and make space at home.
How to get involved:
- Team up with others in your building to host a shared sale in the foyer, car park, or courtyard. Check out the kit for unit blocks to get started.
- Search the national sales map to find a local market to join as a stallholder.
Schools, Charities & Community Groups
Why it’s for you: A fun and easy way to raise funds and bring people together. Schools and groups make around $1,500.
How to get involved:
- Run a school sale for the P&C or community group sale on your grounds.
- Partner with local families to collect donations to sell.
- Invite the wider community to book a stall.

Local businesses
Why it’s for you: A garage sale is a fun way to bring people through your doors, showcase your commitment to sustainability and connect with your local community.
How to get involved:
- Host a sale in your pub or bar, café, secondhand store or workplace.
- Sell old stock or unwanted equipment.
- Team up with neighbouring businesses to create a “high street” sale.
- Add something extra — a sausage sizzle, coffee special, or live music — to draw a crowd.
Community radio stations
Why it’s for you: Local radio is at the heart of community life. By getting involved, you can support reuse, connect with listeners and tap into fun, feel-good content.
How to get involved:
- Host a sale at your station — invite presenters, volunteers and listeners to join in.
- Broadcast live from local garage sales to capture the buzz.
- Run shout-outs, interviews, or segments on the quirky treasures people are selling.
