Join the Garage Sale Trail Upper Lachlan Shire residents are encouraged to clean up their clutter and join in the Garage Sale Trail on the weekend of Saturday, 21 October and Sunday, 22 October 2017. The Garage Sale Trail is a national initiative that sees people from across Australia participate in one big weekend of garage sales. Mayor Brian McCormack OAM said Council was proud to get behind this year’s Garage Sale Trail. “The event is an opportunity for residents to clean out their sheds, garages and cupboards and make a few dollars from items they no longer have use for. It also promotes the reuse or repurpose of items, which may otherwise end up as landfill or be illegally dumped,” Cr McCormack said. To register visit: www.garagesaletrail.com.au. To report illegal dumping go to ridonline.epa.nsw.gov.au or call EPA’s Environment Line on 131 555. Hard rubbish can also be disposed of free of charge at all tips in the Shire on Clean Up Australia Day, which will be held on Sunday, 4 March 2018.
