City-Wide Garage Sale and Community Yard Sale
Welcome Shoppers! The City-wide Garage Sale (at Homes) will be held on May 5, and the Community Yard Sale (at Rengstorff) will be held on Saturday, May 12, 2012. Both events are from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. but are being held on separate weeks to give you more shopping opportunities. Most of the home garage sales are open later than advertised.
What's the difference between the garage sale and the yard sale?
- The garage sale is held at homes throughout Mountain View and typically has larger items such as furniture and appliances.
- The yard sale is held at Rengstorff Park where you will find smaller items and food vendors.
City-Wide Garage Sale
To help you plan your shopping trip for the City-wide Garage Sale, a map of all registered garage sales and list of items will be available online here, in the Mountain View Voice newspaper [depending on budget], and at City Hall Plaza, 500 Castro Street on the plaza near the entrance and on the sidewalk on the Mercy Street side (across from Bank of America).
The online version of the map and list allows you to electronically search for specific items from either your personal computer or PDA mobile device. You can also search by street or neighborhood and print maps to help you plan your shopping trip.
By planning your trip and linking your garage sales together, you can save time, gas, and reduce vehicle emissions to help our environment. And by shopping for used items, you will help our community keep reusable items out of the landfill and conserve our natural resources. One good use deserves another!
