Find a treasure on the Trail

This weekend’s national Garage Sale Trail is our favourite time of the year – we really get to ramp up our reuse and have an excuse to rummage through people’s belongings in search for a pre-loved treasure. 

>>

A celebration of reuse, recycling and community, the event will see homes, businesses and collectives across WA and Australia will open their doors, sheds and garages to reveal things you didn’t know you needed but cannot live without.

With over 5,000 sales happening in WA alone, there are many incredible items to be found on the Trail. Whether you’re a lover of vintage, looking for something quirky or looking for designer items at bargain prices, if you’re keen for a day of rummaging, we’ve done the hard work for you and put together a hitlist of the key sales you should not miss.
