How To Post Your Garage and Yard Sales on Elmhurst Patch

It's May, which means most of us have made a dent in our spring cleaning and garage and yard sale season is in full swing.

Here at Elmhurst Patch we pride ourselves on local, useful information. That includes who has books for a bargain, a dresser in their driveway or some clothes laid out on the lawn.

Posting your garage sale is easy and, even better yet, it's free. You must be registered on Patch and logged in to enter an event, so do that first here.

Then click on our "Events" tab on the top of the page and on "Add an Event" near the top right corner. Or just go to elmhurst.patch.com/events/new.

Fill out the information in the form. You can enter as little or as much as you'd like but be sure to enter your address and check off "Garage Sales" under categories. When you're all done, click on the "Post My Event" button on the bottom left of the screen, and voila!

You can even upload photos of the stuff you're selling.

If you're just looking to visit a few garage sales around town, click on "Events" and then "Garage Sales" and you'll be on your way in no time.

Yes, it's that easy. And remember, it's totally free.

Local non-profit reminder: If you host a sale and have a few leftovers that didn't sell consider donating them to a local charity.
