    Give and get free in your neighborhood.

    1. Free Buy Nothing app

    Find neighborhood-only groups. Everyone gives, no money exchanged.

    2. Facebook groups

    Search Buy Nothing + your city. Most have hundreds of members.

    3. Common giveaways

    Furniture, kids' toys, garden seeds, books, leftover holiday food.

    4. Ask for things

    Need a vacuum? Post a request. Often someone gives one.

    5. Polite culture

    Most groups don't allow selling. First-come-first-served not preferred.
