From early 2024 SI Shepparton collected and stored goods from deceased estates, people who are downsizing and/or decluttering their homes. They hired storage sheds at a cost of $195 per month. Prior to holding the garage sales, members would sort and clean goods as necessary. For two weeks in June and again in October, SI Shepparton then held mega garage sale. Goods were made available to various community groups as well as the general public. This prevented these goods including furniture, homewares, books, toys and clothing from going to landfill. Shepparton Harness Club made their reception rooms available for modest rent for the duration of the garage sales ($500).  They had 18 people rostered during the garage sales (8 hours a day for six days in June and October 2024) plus 2 people collecting, sorting and cleaning donated goods for at least one day a week for ten months making a total of 448 hours covered by members for this project.  A mighty effort SI Shepparton.
