Join us for the second Nanaimo Recycles Trunk Sale! The sale consists of vendors selling their unwanted items from the trunk of their car to bargain hunters. This free reuse event aims to give unwanted household items a longer lease on life and to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.
Along side the trunk sale visitors can also:
- tour our brand new garbage truck,
- learn all about the new automated garbage collection system, and
- play our “What Goes Where” sorting game.
Please note: This sale is intended to 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.
Interested in being a seller?
150 spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Sellers must register in advance to reserve their spot by emailing Public.Worksinfo@nanaimo.ca or telephone 250-758-5222.
