Gigantic garage sale
THE Shire’s ‘Community Garage Sale” is a shire-wide event that celebrates sustainability, reuse and community spirit.
Next month’s event is part of the national ‘Garage Sale Trail’ and offers locals the perfect opportunity to declutter, make a little extra cash and give pre-loved items a second life, all while connecting with neighbours in a fun, social setting.
Douglas Shire Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said the event was a “great way for people to be part of something bigger”.
“Instead of throwing things away, residents can help keep usable items out of landfill, find new homes for their treasures and enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly day,” she said.
“Residents, schools, community groups and local businesses are all encouraged to book a stall and join the movement towards a more circular, waste-free Douglas Shire.”
Alongside the stalls, there’ll be free entertainment for the kids and food stalls, creative reuse activities and the ‘Waste to Wonder’ school art competition.
The Community Garage Sale is being held 8 November at Mossman State School sports hall from 8am to midday.
Stall registrations are now open by visiting www.bit.ly/477NWEr
