garage sale

Household junk clearance

A garage sale is a sale of used household items, typically held in the seller's garage or driveway.

Families use them to clear out unwanted belongings—old furniture, clothes, toys, kitchen items—while making a little money.

Also called a yard sale or tag sale depending on region.

We found a vintage lamp at a garage sale for five dollars.
