Welcome to the World’s Biggest Garage Sale
World’s Biggest Garage Sale (WBGS) is a Brisbane based start-up/scale-up, designing solutions to commercialise the circular economy through the activation of dormant goods for good. We maximise the value of goods already in the economy, through the circular principles of recycle, repurpose, reuse, and re-commerce. In doing so, we’re diverting landfill, and drawing wealth from waste which is invested back into our local communities.
Our Story
We believe we can make a positive impact on people’s lives and the future of the planet through the events and experiences we create.
People & community are at the core of WBGS. We aim to bring the community together through altruism, circular principles & social value creation. As well as educating our community about sustainable consumption, we give back financially by donating our profits from the sale of donated goods to a number of charity benefactors. To date we have donated over $314K to charities.
PLANET
Sustainable consumption & waste diversion are key drivers of WBGS. We are passionate about enhancing the circular economy by engaging the community in the concepts of decluttering, repurposing & sustainability to promote new forms of responsible consumption. With the support of the community & volunteers WBGS have diverted over 3.3-million kgs of potential waste from landfill.
PROFIT FOR PURPOSE
WBGS’ purpose is encompassed by the impact & value we generate for people & planet. Our events exist to create profit with purpose for our community & generate social value impact on a global scale. Over five events WBGS have contributed over $1.7-million in social value to the global economy.
