BERLIN– Residents are invited to the town’s first community yard sale this Saturday.
On Saturday, Oct. 22, the Town of Berlin will host a community yard sale. Participating residents, who have to be within town limits, have registered their addresses online so shoppers know which properties to visit.
“We’ve had a great response so far,” said Ivy Wells, the town’s economic and community development director. “It’ll be a fun day of yard sales in Berlin on Saturday.”
Wells said Mayor Zack Tyndall came up with the idea of a community yard sale in advance of the town’s early November fall bulk waste collection days. That way, residents might be able to browse through items their neighbors no longer want, potentially reducing the amount of items left out for bulk pickup.
Municipal staff worked with the town’s website design company to set up an online form where residents who wanted to take part were able to register their address and the sorts of items they’d be selling.
