Garage Sale Trail to hit Wagga Wagga once again

Households, schools and community groups across the Wagga Wagga region are set to join hundreds of thousands of fellow Aussies for the fifth Garage Sale Trail.

An award-winning community and sustainability event, Garage Sale Trail is powered by more than 150 local councils and over 10,000 garage sales are expected to be held on Saturday 24 October.

Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Rod Kendall said the trail was a unique opportunity to promote sustainability and community building in a fun and creative way.

“Wagga Wagga City Council is proud to again take part in this national initiative,” he said.

“Garage Sale Trail helps people to think creatively about how we can reuse items that might otherwise be put out for waste collection and possibly end up in landfill.

“The trail isn’t just for households – it’s also a great fund-raising opportunity for schools or community groups.”

Registration is free and includes a seller webpage that can be personalised by naming the garage sale and listing items that will be for sale on the day.

There’s also a whole swag of tips and tools available to help sellers promote their sales. If you register before 25 September will receive a seller pack with lots of goodies to ensure a successful garage sale.
