Welcome to the World’s Biggest Garage Sale
Since 2013 we set out to change the lives of many in our community through an unlikely vehicle, a garage sale, a really, really big garage sale. It got so big we decided to call it the World’s Biggest Garage Sale. Starting as way to spring clean a cluttered home and sell everything to raise money for charity, exploded into an annual community event!
Anyone can join us on the WBGS adventure – you can donate your goods to be sold for charity, you can donate your time as a volunteer or of course you can donate your money, in exchange for some awesome products that is! Get on board the WBGS train and help make a difference.

Want to donate goods?
Donating goods to the World’s Biggest Garage Sale couldn’t be simpler with our Donation Drop-Off Days. Most donations are dropped to us at either WBGS HQ (when we get access) or at one of our satellite donation locations, done in partnership with key sponsor National Storage. We can assist with the collection of larger donations (amount or size) or for donors with special circumstances i.e. elderly, disabled, and/or unwell.
Our 2018 Donation Drop-Off Days are yet to be finalised, however, you can register here to be among the first to receive donation options for the current year.
Charity is good, just saying…
Supporters, it just doesn’t happen without our supporters…
The World’s Biggest Garage Sale really wouldn’t be possible without the ongoing support of our supporters. If you ever require the use of their products or services for any reason, please support those supporting us and don’t forget to let them know that WBGS sent you!
Alternatively if you are from a business and you want to get involved, we are always looking for support in a number of areas. Click below to find out more or to express your interest.
Shop WBGS, your second-hand supermarket…
The bulk of the goods donated to our organisation will be sold at the events, however, items of significant value or interest can end up online via eBay, Facebook, Gumtree and even at physical auction houses!
To make sure you are up to date on what’s being sold and where, you can register for a product alert below AND if there is something specific you are after, let us know via our contact page and we’ll do our best to find it for you.
