Yorke Peninsula Council is encouraging residents to register for this year’s Garage Sale Trail.

The event is the nation’s biggest second-hand treasure hunt and is set to take place over two big weekends in November — 9-10 and 16-17.

Local residents are invited to join the fun by hosting their own garage sale, with the flexibility to take part on a single day or spread their sale across both weekends.

It’s a great way to declutter, make some extra cash, and do something positive for the environment.

Mayor Darren Braund encouraged the community to get involved, highlighting how the event benefits both the planet and the wallet.

“Garage Sale Trail helps neighbours connect, make some money, and keep their good stuff out of landfill,” Mr Braund said.
“With free registration, how-to guides, and promotional resources, hosting a sale is made easy over these two big weekends.

“We expect to see a number of sales happening locally, contributing to the 15,000 sales that will be running across the nation.”

The event is powered by a growing movement of reuse and recycling, with sellers making an average of $457 from their sales.

With 3 million items set to go on sale during the weekends, there’s never been a better time to join in.

“There really will be something for everyone,” Mr Braund said.
“Thanks to the support of Council, participation in the Garage Sale Trail program is completely free for residents.”

Don’t miss out on the chance to clear out, cash in, and help the environment!

ABOUT GARAGE SALE TRAIL

Garage Sale Trail is a not-for-profit social enterprise founded by Sydney mates, Darryl Nichols and Andrew Valder.

It seeks to educate Australians on the importance of reuse, and the need to take individual responsibility for the impact of our consumption habits whilst also building stronger, more connected and resilient communities.

Now into its teenage years, Garage Sale Trail has grown from a grass roots idea in Bondi Beach where it started in 2010 to being powered by over 80 councils nationally.
