Explore Councils by state
Broome households, schools and community groups are set to join over 400,000 people across the country on Saturday 20 October and Sunday 21 October as a part of the eighth annual Garage Sale Trail.
A multi award-winning community and sustainability event, Garage Sale Trail is powered by over 140 local councils nationwide.
It is expected that this year’s weekend-long event will involve more Australians than ever before, who will choose to reuse at over 15,000 garage sale events to be held across the country.
Broome Shire President, Harold Tracey, said that Garage Sale Trail presented a fun and social way for the Shire of Broome to encourage reuse and help educate the community about why we all need take responsibility for the waste we generate.
“Garage Sale Trail also provides a way meet your neighbours and connect with the broader community while decluttering and raising money for yourself or local causes,” Cr Tracey said.
“We're really pleased to be involved in this grass-roots event that like the reuse movement is growing year on year.”
Platform organisers project that 1.5+ million items will be listed for sale and reuse.
And last year the average:
Household sale made $370 via the day Participants connected with 50 local people And redistributed 250kgs of stuff“We ask sellers to name their sale which is a bit of fun and adds a little colour to their garage sale event,” said Garage Sale Trail Co-Founder, Darryl Nichols.
“Some past examples include The Almost Deceased Estate, It’s a Divorce, Garage Sale of the Century and The Only Lionel Vinyl Sale.”
The first 1,250 sellers who register before 10 September will receive a free seller pack with posters, price tags and more to help maximise your sales success.
