Second Hand Sunday returns for summer

Is it time for a summer clean-out?

Second Hand Sunday returns on 2 December, with the opportunity to declutter your house for summer, by getting rid of items you don’t want or need.

Second Hand Sunday also provides treasure-hunters with an ideal opportunity to pick up free pre-loved goods to enjoy over the summer holiday season.

If you have items you want to give away, simply register online to make sure you get onto the list of participating addresses, print off a poster (or pick one up from Council's customer service centre) and put it on your mailbox on the day. 

Second Hand Sunday starts at 10am, so put your unwanted goods on your driveway (not on the footpath), with the poster on display. 

Please do not put out food or dangerous goods, like faulty electrical equipment, chemicals, or firearms.

The list of participants will be available for download from our website, or from our customer service centre from 12pm on Friday 30 November. 

Pick up a list and head out to enjoy some treasure hunting (you don’t need to register to participate).

The event will take place rain or shine, but please respect the 10am start time.

Home owners are responsible for taking back in anything that doesn't go on the day.

The Nelson Environment Centre has some great information on how to recycle leftover items.
