Resources that allow for freecycling only are found in the other list: https://lemmy.world/post/1208672

This is a list of resources, such as dedicated web sites or apps where you can post or find second hand items (vintage or thrifting). Some are country specific, some are available or have groups in several countries.

Rules: No suspicious links, NSFW links or scam/phishing/malware. The list will be curated, if need be.

Worldwide (common in several countries)

  • Freecycle Network - Moderated, free, freecycling only, mainly(?) used in Germany, UK, US
  • Craigslist - Unmoderated, paid ads for some categories, mainly used in the US and Canada(?)
    [iOS app] - [Android app]
  • Trashnothing.com - Unmoderated, free, active groups in Australia, Canada, UK, US
    [iOS app] - [Android app] - [Open developer API]

Is this for buying or selling? I ask because Craigslist charges for some categories, I know automobiles do, not sure which others.

It is intended for both buying and selling. And giving away.

Thank you for the info. I’ll update the list with that it charges for some categories.
