Second Hand Saturday is a North Coast community event where you hold the garage sale and we promote it through a FREE on-line and local paper listing of garage sales being held across the region! Choose to hold your own garage sale at home, or coordinate / get involved with a joint garage sale in your street, with your local school, preschool, community organisation or church. You can also get involved by shopping at all the garage sales across the region – and from previous years’ experience there will be hundreds to choose from!

Why get involved?

Whether you host a garage sale or buy second-hand items, taking part in Second Hand Saturday is an environmentally, socially and economically rewarding activity. Your efforts will help reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and promote reuse and repair. This will be the 16th Second Hand Saturday event NE Waste has coordinated since 2005. Last year more than 600 people registered to hold garage sales across the region!

How can I get involved?

There are a number of ways to get involved in the Biggest Day of Garage Sales. You could simply register to hold your own garage sale, or you could round up the neighbours, and hold a joint street garage sale. Make sure you let us know if you are holding a street or community garage sale, or if you are selling something extra special by emailing us or by using our Facebook page to draw people to your garage sale.

I'm not holding a garage sale. Can I still get involved?

Yes! Absolutely.

For shoppers, buying pre-loved is the perfect excuse to do some guilt-free shopping at a fraction of the cost of new products.Searching for something in particular? Use the search app and map available here to plan your treasure hunting expedition and make the most of your day. Or download the app.
