If you’re feeling the pinch of rising costs or just itching to declutter, mark your calendars because Garage Sale Trail 2024 is back. Taking place over two weekends, 9-10 and 16-17 November, this nationwide event will transform thousands of homes and community spaces into treasure troves of pre-loved goods waiting for a new lease on life.
The Garage Sale Trail has grown into Australia’s largest event of its kind, offering a unique blend of sustainable shopping, community spirit, and good old-fashioned bargain hunting. Whether you’re clearing out your cupboards or on the hunt for a one-of-a-kind find, this is the perfect opportunity to make a little extra cash or score a deal while doing something good for the planet—not to mention, it’s free to register.
Don’t have a garage? No problem! You can team up with neighbours/schools, host a group sale, or even set up a car boot sale.
What makes Garage Sale Trail even more convenient is the support offered to sellers. From how-to guides to sale tips and promotional materials, everything is provided, so even first-timers can feel confident in setting up their own sales.
In 2023, over 419,000 Australians either sold or shopped at more than 14,000 garage sales across the country. Together, they extended the life of over 4.8 million kgs of items, saving them from landfill.
With over 80 councils already on board and government backing from the NSW EPA and Queensland Government, organisers are expecting 500,000 Australians to get involved, making this one of the country’s biggest community events.
Whether you’re a seasoned seller or a first-time buyer, Garage Sale Trail has something for everyone. Want to be a part of Australia’s biggest treasure hunt and make a positive impact on your wallet and the planet? Register now for free!
