Garage Sale Trail is calling on all Aussies to get involved. Not because having a garage sale on one day will change the course of the world or even Australia’s environmental course but because it’s a symbol and celebration of being conscious that we can all make a difference to the plight of the planet and our local community too. Buying or selling at a garage sale is one of those simple actions we can all do as part of a whole range of behaviours to lead a more sustainable lifestyle....and make a few bucks in the process.
IT’S GOOD STUFF
• Your council makes it happen locally
• You register your garage sale
• Together we make Australia’s biggest reuse and community event happen because lots of people taking everyday actions can have a big impact on the environment and your local community.

Youth Projects raised money for support and education for the homeless youth in Melbourne. They hosted a shoe sale, selling over 500 pairs of donated shoes, to raise money for their cause. They’ve participated two years running, and use Garage Sale Trail as a way to generate media and raise funds and create a conversation about the issue in their community.
Waterford Preschool wanted to raise money for an underprivileged community in India, to buy books and basic supplies for the kids who live there. They used word of mouth and asked parents and neighbours to participate in the Garage Sale Trail. On the day they sold everything from baby clothes and toys to cakes and oldstock from Waverley Library. They raised over $2000 (double the amount of money they expected) for the Indian community and made the front page of the local newspaper. They also used the day to teach the kids about recycling and reuse.
