Garage Sale Trail

The Queensland Government is providing $300,000 over four years to support the Garage Sale Trail.

The Garage Sale trail helps to support a reduction in household waste by reusing clothing and household items, saving them from landfill.

Over three million kilograms of stuff was given a second life in 2022 by more than 300,000 Australian’s who shopped or sold at 15,000 garage sales across the country.

Garage Sale Trail will take place in October and November in 2023 with a series of free online masterclasses, the Trail Tutorials, and two big weekends of garage sales.

To host a sale, shop the trail or attend a tutorial visit the Garage Sale Trail website.

Extending the life of our clothing and household items by reusing and repurposing them is a simple action we can all take to keep valuable materials in circulation and prevent them going to landfill.
