Nanaimo Recycles Trunk Sales
They’re back - stop in at Country Club Centre from 9 am to 2 pm on Saturday, June 22 and VIU's Parking Lot L August 24 for the 2024 Trunk Sales!
The sales are for vendors to sell their unwanted items from the trunk of their car to bargain hunters. These free reuse events aim to give unwanted household items a longer lease on life and to reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill.
Trunk sales promote reuse and recycling of unwanted “garage sale” type items. No retail-type booths or sale of new items will be permitted. The only new items permitted for sale are items made from recycled materials.
This year we will be holding TWO Trunk Sale Events. The first event will be on June 22, 2024 at the Country Club Centre from 9:00am - 2:00pm. The second event will be held on August 24, 2024 at the Vancouver Island University in Lot L from 9:00am - 2:00pm.
It is free entry for sellers by advance registration. 150 vendor spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Sellers can reserve a space by sending an email to public.worksinfo@nanaimo.ca with the subject line: 2024 Trunk Sale Registration. Deadline for applications is 3:00pm the Friday before the sale (June 21 and August 23).
Buyers be sure to bring your reusable bags!
