More than 40 garage sales are expected across Yorke Peninsula Council this November, as locals join over 400,000 Australians participating in this year’s Garage Sale Trail, one of the country’s largest secondhand shopping events.

Held over two weekends (8–9 & 15–16 November), the event sees thousands of garage sales pop up in streets, schools, front yards, and community spaces nationwide.

Locals can host their own sale or join a market, take part on one day or across both weekends.

“It’s a fun and meaningful way for locals to take climate action, meet their neighbours, and make some extra cash,” Acting Mayor Richard Carruthers said.

“Garage Sale Trail makes it easy to give your items a second life – and keep them out of landfill.”

“By selling or buying secondhand, we’re not just saving money – we’re helping reduce waste and giving our community a boost,” Mr Carruthers added.

“Every item sold or swapped is one less item going to landfill, and that’s a win for our environment and our neighbourhoods.”

Registration is free and includes access to downloadable signs, guides, and promotional tools – making participation simple.

Last year, the average seller earned $499, showing that selling secondhand is as good for the wallet as it is for the planet.

“There’s something for everyone – from fashion and retro homewares to kids’ toys, tools, plants, and books,” Mr Carruthers said.

Participation is free thanks to Council support, helping locals reduce waste and embrace the circular economy.

By taking part, residents are keeping usable items out of landfill, giving them a second life, and supporting a more sustainable community.
