THE HOW
Participating councils get a ready-made waste education campaign which is proven to reduce waste to landfill, connect the community and support the local economy.  

We provide all the materials you need, support you to generate awesome local media, manage enquiries from the community, survey residents and provide a localised impact report to help you measure the impact of the program.
Garage Sale Trail is made possible each year thanks to the contributions of our council, waste management group and state government partners. 

The program works for councils of all shapes and sizes, from both metropolitan and regional areas. In 2020, a whopping 97% of our 110 partner councils said they would recommend the program to other councils.
