Everyone loves finding a bargain at a garage sale. It’s a great Aussie tradition with all sorts of treasures to be found. But did you realise it’s also good for the environment?
With millions of tonnes of waste being sent to landfill by Australian households each year, the humble garage sale is an easy way to reuse and recycle pre-loved goods.
Second Hand Saturdays are the biggest coordinated garage sale days on the north coast. This year they will be held across seven Council areas over two big weekends: Saturday 19th and Saturday 26th November. With double the opportunity to hold a garage sale or shop at one, it is anticipated this year’s event will have a great turn-out!
Scheduled just one month before Christmas, it’s the perfect time to swap your pre-loved items for pre-Christmas cash and if you’re a shopper, seek out the ultimate, one-of-a-kind gift from the hundreds of sales that will be on offer across the region.
All registered garage sale listings will appear on the Second-Hand Saturday website and the free Second-Hand Saturday App, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
For more information visit the Second-Hand Saturday website www.secondhandsaturday.com.au, follow the @mysecondhandsaturday Facebook page or contact Clarence Valley Council. Registrations to hold a garage sale closed on Friday November 11.
