We're bringing you new ways to be involved this year, both online and in the real world and are dedicated to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all involved.  From taking part in an online masterclass to hosting a virtual garage sale from the safety of your home, there’s something for everyone. Read more about the plans we have made to keep you safe here.

Registrations are open now. Setting up your sale listing takes no more than five minutes of your time and once completed you’ll get access to free promotional materials including posters, bunting and a Covid-safe toolkit, created to help make your sale a rip-roaring success and keep you safe on the Trail. 

The most successful sales get creative with their sale name and tell people what they're offering at their sale – think special guests, music, entertainment and free giveaways.

And fear not, if things change, you can edit your sale at any time, simply by logging in to your Garage Sale Trail account.

This year we're all about providing you with as much support as possible to help keep you safe on the Trail. From a Covid-safe toolkit of resources and tips for those hosting real life events to ways you can be involved online.

However you choose to get involved it's important you comply with the relevant Public Health Orders or other laws and regulations made by your local or state government.

There's more on the steps we're taking here.

Garage Sale Trail is the nation’s biggest weekend of garage sales. An estimated 430,000 Australians got involved in 2019 either by selling their pre-loved stuff at a garage sale or shopping the Trail for bargains and unique finds.

It’s all about how the small actions we each take as individuals can make a big difference to our communities and our planet. One garage sale on its own doesn't make that much difference but get 16,000 happening over the one weekend and KAPOW that’s a lot of items not going to landfill and more cash in people's pockets! Last year over 3 million kilograms of pre-loved items were sold, from kids toys to clothes, furniture and antique tea sets. You name it, you can find it on the Trail.

The best thing about Garage Sale Trail is that it’sfor everybody. Households, community groups, charities, schools, local businesses, even whole streets get involved! It’s also a great event for makers and creators to showcase their wares and for good causes to raise a quid or two to support their work.

Garage Sale Trail is one of a number of council initiatives designed to reduce waste to landfill and provide the community with ways to dispose of unwanted items responsibly.
