How to participate?

Sellers - Register your address for an individual, multi-family, or neighborhood block garage sale. Complete the registration form thoroughly.

Buyers - Search for sale locations using the interactive map once registration has opened or downloadable spreadsheet, available after registration has closed.

Tips for hosting a garage sale:

• Complete the garage sale registration form once registration opens.
• Create a master list with the items for sale and their prices.
• Post visible signs on private property only (no signs may be posted on utility or street sign poles).
• Have change and petty cash available. Have plenty of bags and boxes available.
• Donate usable items not sold. Visit RecycleStuff.org for ideas on where donated items can be accepted.

Garage sale shopper tips:

• If you arrive early, wait or return at a later time.
• Do not block driveways, fire hydrants, handicap zones or park in a red zone, even temporarily.
• Do not drive distracted or abnormally slow to “check out” a sale from the street. Instead, pull over and park.
• Walk around flower beds and do not cut through yards.
• Be prepared with small bills and coins.
• Have FUN!
