Bargains: Liverpool deputy mayor Tony Hadchiti and Mission Australia Op Shop staff getting ready for the annual Garage Sale Trail next Saturday.

Liverpool households, schools and community groups are encouraged to join hundreds of thousands of people across the country next Saturday, October 24, as a part of the fifth annual Garage Sale Trail.

An award winning community and sustainability event, Garage Sale Trail is powered by more than 150 local councils.

An estimated 10,000 garage sales will be held across the country as part of the Trail.

Households, local organisations, schools, community groups and charities can register via the garage sale trail website.

Registration is free and includes a seller webpage that can be personalised by naming the garage sale and listing items that will be for sale on the day.

There’s also a big range of tips and tools available to help sellers promote their sales locally.

“Liverpool Council is proud to be involved in bringing this national initiative to our residents,” Mayor Ned Mannoun said.

“Garage Sale Trail helps people to think creatively about how we can reuse items that might otherwise be put out for waste collection and possibly end up in landfill.

“The trail is a great way to get to know your neighbours and connect with the broader community while raising money for yourself or others.

“It’s a grassroots event that has swept across the country, so we’re pleased to be a part of something bigger that’s making some positive change.”

“Now is the time to pencil Saturday, 24 October into your diary and prepare for a fun day of buying and selling.

“Who knows what treasures you might come across,” Mayor Mannoun said.
