Council considers another Secondhand Saturday

Forty-six garage sales were held in the Peninsula area on Saturday, March 23, as part of Gosford Council's Secondhand Saturday event.

Gosford Council's waste and sustainability officer Ms Elyse Ballesty said the event was so popular this year that Council was "definitely considering holding the event again in the future".

"Gosford Council would like to thank all the residents, and those bargain buyers who helped to make the event such a success, who participated in the event and congratulate their significant efforts to swap, reuse, sell, buy and recycle their unwanted goods.

"If participants have any feedback regarding the event, please email waste@gosford.nsw.gov.au.

"The feedback we have had so far has been positive and we already have a number of people wishing to be participants in the next Second Hand Saturday event," said Ms Ballesty.

Twenty-one of the sales were held in Woy Woy, while nine were held in Umina, five in Ettalong, two in Blackwall, Booker Bay, Empire Bay and St Huberts Island and one in Horsfield Bay, Patonga and Killcare.

A total of 174 garage sales were held across the Gosford Local Government Area.
