Olivette to host citywide garage sale
The city of Olivette will be helping residents clear out their homes and find potential treasures with a massive yard sale this June.
The Olivette Community-Wide Yard Sale will see homes from across the city hold their own independent yard sales. All participating sales will be listed on a city-issued map, guiding shoppers looking for deals. The city is also providing yard sale signs for rent. All sales involved must follow local guidelines regarding masks and social distancing. The sale is the latest edition of an annual event that has seen many household items find new homes in Olivette.
The city has also issued a list of guidelines for participating sellers, including sorting items, using realistic prices, and having change on hand. Buyers are advised to plan a route ahead of time, wear sunscreen, and bring reusable bags. Often promoted through homemade poster printing and classified ads, garage sales are a popular way for buyers to find good deals or rare items, and sellers to make some money out of items that they are no longer using. Garage sales can also attract dedicated hunters of vintage items like records, books, and furniture.
The Olivette Community-Wide Yard Sale is scheduled for the mornings of June 12 and 13. Sellers must register by June 4 to be on the city-issued map. Signs are available from the Olivette Community Center.
