NEWS RELEASE - Distributed July 15, 2019 9:00 AM

Summary

Bargain hunters will find trunks full of treasure at the City of Nanaimo's third annual Car Trunk Sale on Saturday, July 27, 2019 from 9 am to 2 pm. Residents looking for a bargain or a unique buy, can join over 100 vendors selling used items from the trunk of their car in the Country Club Centre parking lot. This free-to-attend reuse event aims to give unwanted household items a longer lease on life and to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.

Vendor spots are still available for those wishing to give their once loved items a new life. Residents interested in becoming a vendor at the Trunk Sale can register in advance to reserve their spot by emailing sorttossroll@nanaimo.ca.
