Gunnedah is once again part of the Garage Sale Trail in 2019, offering an opportunity to be part of a great community program.

The 2019 Garage Sale Trail will take place on October 19 and 20, and Gunnedah Shire residents are encouraged to either hold their own garage sale, or get together for a stall at the Gunnedah Community Markets on October 19.

“The Garage Sale Trail is not only a great day’s shopping, but is a fantastic way to give some of those items a new life with a new owner,” Gunnedah Shire Council Manager Communications and Cultural Services Eliza Gallen said.

“The initiative is Australia’s biggest waste education and re-use program.

“Holding garage sales on the same weekend gives people a chance to attract a greater number of customers, and to register online with the Garage Sale Trail.

“Community groups, neighbours and sporting groups could seize the day to hold a joint fundraising garage sale.

“And for those who like to shop for something unusual, it’s an opportunity to do a whole lot of bargain hunting on the same weekend.”

Registrations for the 2019 Garage Sale Trail are open on www.garagesaletrail.com.au 

To book a stall at the Saturday, October 19 Gunnedah Community Markets, contact Kyle at TRAC on 0439 609 502.

In 2018, the Garage Sale Trail saw:

• 3.2 million kilograms of unwanted items re-used
• 18 million people reached by the re-use education campaign
• 350,000 Australians involved.
