Each year, more than 330,000 Australians take part by hosting garage sales or markets at their homes, schools, unit blocks, community halls and even pubs - or by shopping the Trail.
Collectively, they extend the life of more than 730,000 items each year, saving them from landfill.
Garage Sale Trail 2026 takes place on 7–8 & 14–15 November and marks the final ever Garage Sale Trail event. It's your last chance to clear out and cash in or bag a bargain.
It's free to join and you'll get tips, support and promotional materials to help your sale succeed.
Since it launched in 2010, Garage Sale Trail has grown into a massive national movement boasting 134,000 garage sales, 4 million cumulative participants and over 7.2 million items saved from landfill. Along the way, the program has generated $52 million for local households and community groups, while sparking more than 2 million new neighbourly connections.
