No junk in the trunk: City hosts unique garage sale event

Sep 8, 2017 | 4:18 PM

NANAIMO — This weekend you won’t have to travel far to get all your garage sale shopping done.

From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9, more than 100 cars will be lined up at the Nanaimo Curling Club, selling items from their trunk. It’s the first garage sale event of this type by the City of Nanaimo, who hope it becomes an annual event.

Charlotte Davis, manager of sanitation and recycling with the City, told NanaimoNewsNOW residents can more easily find great deals and help Nanaimo be more environmentally friendly.

“We want to save as many things from going into the landfill as possible. We’re helping to keep our community green by using things which still have some life left.”
