The Garage Sale Trail is returning to the Central Coast over two big weekends in November, offering Coasties a unique opportunity to declutter, discover and save. On 9-10 and 16-17 November, hundreds of garage sales will pop up across the region, transforming the Central Coast into a fun and sustainable shopping destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This community-driven event, made locally possible by Central Coast Council, is Australia’s biggest festival of pre-loved stuff. Whether you’re looking to find hidden gems, reduce waste or simply have a fun day out, the Garage Sale Trail has something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central Coast Council Director Infrastructure Services, Boris Bolgoff said garage sales are a win-win for our community and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLast year, the Central Coast saw 287 garage sales registered for the Garage Sale Trail weekends, which resulted in an impressive 160,277kgs of pre-loved items, not going to landfill,\u201d said Mr Bolgoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis fantastic result made us one of the top ranked regions in both NSW and nationally. We’re aiming to break those records at this year’s events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot only can Coasties score amazing deals, saving at least 25% off a retail price, by choosing second-hand, but sellers also walk away with some extra cash, with the average seller making $456.84 last year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Registering to host a garage sale is free, with registrations now open. More information is available on the Garage Sale Trail website, such as how-to guides, promotional resources and tips on using touch-free payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coasties interested in shopping at a garage sale can also view registered garage sales on the website, allowing them to plan their shopping day out in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Mayor Lawrie McKinna said Council is proud to support the Garage Sale Trail as part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Garage Sale Trail aligns with Council\u2019s efforts to reduce waste, promote recycling and create a greener future for our community,\u201d Mayor McKinna said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy participating in the Garage Sale Trail, you’re giving pre-loved goods a second life, multiplying the value of the effort and resources used to create them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
