Here’s how it works: If you're a seller, register the address of your garage sale online or by calling (925) 671-5813. Deadline to register online is Friday, October 5. To receive a lawn sign, you must register by Monday, October 1. A lawn sign will be brought to you by our sponsoring business. If you register after Monday, you may not receive a lawn sign. You may wish to advertise with additional street signs (not in public rights of way) and advertise online or in newspapers. Please take all signs down after your sale. Donate leftover items to our local thrift stores. Now, if you’re a buyer, you can browse the ads to find households taking part in the citywide garage sale. Start early but not before listed times. Experienced shoppers come early to find the best buys. Bring a reusable bag or a cart, which will allow you to carry heavier items more easily and to protect fragile objects.
