Repair, reuse, recycle (and treasure hunt) this November
01 November 2025 | Council News
With National Recycling Week running from 10-16 November, it’s the perfect time to repair, reuse, recycle (and treasure hunt) at these waste-busting, second-hand loving events!
Pick up a bargain at Garage Sale Trail
8-9 and 15-16 November / Around Waverley and across Sydney
The annual Garage Sale Trail is your chance to find pre-loved treasure for bargain prices! Follow the trail as a buyer to pick up a bargain or join as a seller to pass your pre-loved things to someone new.
Better yet, support local sellers, The Men Shed's Waverley, and Galilee Catholic School as they raise funds for their communities. Otherwise, there'll be pickles, antiques, abandoned art and designer clothes - just follow the trail to find out where! More info.
Get answers to tricky recycling questions at our pop-ups
14 November / Waverley Library and Waverley Council Customer Service Centre
