World’s Biggest Garage Sale
Australia
The World s Biggest Garage Sale (WBGS) is a massive community event a garage sale where people donate their unused or unwanted household goods and we resell them to create purposeful profit. We make donations from the profits of the sale of donated items to Australian charity benefactors such as The Courier Mail Children s Fund with our donations making a positive impact in the community through charities such as The Pyjama Foundation and ACT for Kids. Our events provide our community members with alternate ways to source and purchase high quality products (such as clothing antiques furniture & whitegoods) at prices that are affordable. We are also proud to promote recycling and reuse within the community to engage members in more sustainable forms of shopping that diverts waste from landfill and creates a second life for products that were otherwise unused or unwanted.
