Back by popular demand, the Belmont Public Library, along with the Belmont Recreation Department and
the Council on Aging, is hosting the second annual Town Wide Yard Sale on Saturday, Sept. 28.

If you’d like to host a yard sale, visit the Belmont Recreation website ASAP. A fee of $15 dollars per home is required, to help cover the costs of the markers and advertising.

The sale will focus on recycling of goods, community fellowship, and highlighting the local economy and business community. Last year more than 125 homes participated, and this year the number has been increased to 175 homes,

Participants are allowed to have a Yard Sale in their yards or driveways between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. A map will be created in both physical and digital forms, for yard sale goers, sponsored in part by local businesses, and identifying markers will be placed at each home to more easily identify sales. Participants can choose to keep the proceeds from their sale, or opt to donate them to a favorite town departments.

This event helps residents to clean out their homes, keeps items out of the Belmont trash process, and offers an opportunity to earn a few dollars.

Last year this attracted residents from other towns, who came to our town and enjoyed coffee shops, restaurants and shopping, and hopefully it reminded them of what a wonderful place Belmont is to frequent.
