Patch 101: Advertise Your Yard Sale

Whether you are a homeowner, church group, civic organization or sports team, you can let the Cartersville community know about your upcoming sale by posting it on our events calendar, for free.

And if you are heading out on the garage-sale circuit, access the locations on your smart phone by downloading the Patch app.
