Green up your garage sale
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Existing for the sole purpose of passing on pre-owned items, yard sales are inherently earth-friendly. Why not aim even higher? The next time you throw a garage sale, challenge yourself to go even greener: • Package small or fragile items in reused or donated boxes or packing materials • Donate a share of the proceeds to a green cause • Advertise your sale on an online community bulletin board to cut back on paper signs

I had a wonderfully successful yard sale, made a good amount of money, made every shopper smile, also gave them something free when they bought something which made them happy and my table emptier. When the yard sale was over I boxed it up & brought it to the thrift shop & to my son’s school for their annual Christmas Fair. Also donated the extra bags to the school for bagging the sales for the customers. We all made out well.
Instead of a garage sale, I donated everything to two thrift shops.
