Have you tried a local Buy Nothing Group? Also can get a lot of stuff from kids clothing swaps.
I haven't heard of this... took a look. There are two (Facebook) groups in the city I live in. I'd have to get a Facebook account to join. Hmmmm... will think about it. I've been avoiding Facebook since I disconnected from it a few years back.
Yes same. I wish people didn’t use Facebook. I keep mine around for some groups like this one, and sometimes for marketplace, but I’m not happy about it.
That said, Buy Nothing is super useful, both for getting free stuff but also for unloading stuff in a way where you have some reason to think that it won’t immediately go into a landfill.
Yeah I can see that being useful. We are planning to sell the house in about 18-24 months (assuming things don't totally collapse) and will have to start clearing out the cruft at some point. Things not good enough for a Craigslist sale, but still has life left if someone is creative.
Still... sigh.. Facebook...
