How To Post Your Garage and Yard Sales on Orland Park Patch

It's June, and hopefully some of us have made a dent in our spring cleaning -- which also means garage and yard sale season is in full swing.

Here at Orland Park Patch we aim to provide as much local, useful information as possible. 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 on Orland Park Patch 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 at orlandpark.patch.com/login.

If you're signing up for a new account, remember to familiarize yourself with our Terms of Use.

Once you're logged in (or signed up) click on our "Events" tab on the top of the page and on "Put it on the calendar" near the top right corner. Or just go to orlandpark.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 have photos of it. And if you are a budding Coppola and have video demos of your stuff, you can post those as well, so long as the files are under 200 megabytes.

If you're just looking to visit a few garage sales around town, click on "Events" at the top of the page, and then click "Garage Sales." You'll be on your way to those Rolling Stones records the last owner didn't want 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. Here are five non-profits serving Orland and nearby towns that .
