Hornsby Shire Council is excited to announce the return of its popular Second Hand Hornsby Market on Sunday 13 April 2025 at Coronation StrEat, aimed at encouraging the local reuse economy.
The Second Hand Hornsby Market provide residents with an opportunity to declutter some of their pre-loved items in an environmentally conscious manner, offering others the opportunity to discover thrifty treasures.
The market is part of Council's Second Hand Hornsby initiative, which also includes an innovative service on Council's website allowing residents to advertise their garage sales, with advice on making them a success.
Council is encouraging locals to reduce the number of items sent to landfill by instead opting to give their unwanted items a new lease on life. Some of the items that are expected to be on offer at the Second Hand Hornsby Market include clothing, toys, books, sporting equipment and household items.
Residents were quick to book out the 30 stalls, and now Hornsby Shire Mayor Warren Waddell, can't wait to see the local community come along to the market to help keep preloved items in circulation and out of landfill.
"Events like this help to inspire a shift in how we approach consumption. The markets are a fantastic opportunity for the community to support sustainable living and take home some bargains," Mayor Waddell said.
The Second Hand Hornsby Markets will run on the second Sunday of April, September and November 2025 from 9am-1pm in the car park on Coronation Street and in the Coronation StrEat space.
Second Hand Hornsby aligns with Council's Waste Matters Strategy and is part of several initiatives, including Bicycle Repair and Clothes Swap events, to assist Council to maximise resource recovery and stimulate the reuse economy.
