Shopping sustainably

Join the Garage Sale Trail as a seller or a buyer this November.

Op shops

Give your stuff a new home – donate your clothes, homewares, jewellery and furniture to a local op shop today.

Shop around for a second-hand treasure and save money.

In Australia, each person sends around 10 kg of clothing and textiles alone to landfill each year. That’s around 260,000 tonnes (Australian Fashion Council, 2022) of waste that could have been recycled instead.

By donating to and purchasing from op shops, you help reduce the amount of usable goods going to landfill.

These local op shops accept used goods that are sellable and in working order.

Second-hand businesses

Boroondara is home to a vibrant mix of second-hand and pre-loved businesses offering everything from designer fashion and vintage accessories to art, furniture, unique collectables, and more.

Choosing pre-loved not only saves you money, it supports sustainability. Every purchase helps keep quality items in circulation and out of landfill.

And the best part? You’ll uncover one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect your style, your values, and your personality.
