Australia's largest garage sale, Second Hand Saturday, is on next Saturday, 21 September 2024.

You can still register your garage sale for the online listings until 5pm Thursday, September 19. Click here to register.

Right now, there are 273 garage sales registered across the Northern Rivers, with Lismore holding 64, Ballina 63, Tweed 85, Richmond Valley 20, Kyogle 15 and Clarence Valley 26.

When you click on the Second Hand Saturday website, click on Browse Sales, and you can search by Council Area if you don't want to travel out of your own local government area (LGA) or you can search by category, such as antiques & collectables, books, clothing, electronics and furniture.

A recent study done by Charitable Reuse Australia, in partnership with the NSW EPA, found that households across the state were able to save $423 million just last year by shopping second-hand.

It’s not only good for our wallets, though. The study also found that 49,000 tonnes of what could have been waste was diverted from landfills through the second-hand market.

You can be a part of Second Hand Saturday by registering to hold your own garage sale, or teaming up with family, friends or neighbours for a coordinated sale. There’s also the opportunity to register a group event as a local community organisation, fundraiser, school or church.

Join the reuse revolution on Saturday, 21st September, as we welcome the North Coast’s largest day of garage sales - Second Hand Saturday.

Since 2005, Second Hand Saturday has served as a platform and prompt for our community to support reuse and repair.
