Our City-Wide Garage Sale gives residents a chance to declutter, make some cash, and find a new home for reusable items. Held to coincide following Earth Week and Earth Day, the annual event is part of the City’s ongoing waste-reduction efforts. Participants dispose of their unwanted items in an earth-friendly way, while benefiting from the tons of bargain hunters exploring all the garage sales happening around the community. To participate, residents clean out their closets and join tons of people across the community in hosting garage sales.
All participants are responsible for packing up any unsold items, similar to any regular garage sale. The City is not picking up unsold items. We encourage participants to donate leftover items to charity or utilize the City’s Large-Item Pick-up Program.
