Learn the best ways to give away your unwanted items for free. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about donating furniture, electronics, clothes, and more in the UK.
Help keep items out of landfills and reduce your environmental impact.
Support people in your community who need affordable items.
Connect with neighbours and strengthen local connections.
Go through your items and decide what you want to give away. Clean items thoroughly - people are more likely to take well-maintained items. Check that everything works properly.
High-quality photos are essential. Take pictures in good lighting, show any damage or wear clearly, and include multiple angles. Honest photos build trust with potential recipients.
Include the item's condition, size, age, and any relevant details. Be honest about flaws. Mention if it needs repair or has specific requirements (e.g., "needs assembly").
Select a platform that fits your needs:
Be clear about when and where the item can be collected. For large items, specify if you can help load. Consider meeting in a public place or having someone with you for safety. Once someone commits, mark the item as reserved or remove the listing once collected.
Sofas, tables, chairs, wardrobes, and bookcases are always in demand.
Working TVs, computers, kitchen appliances, and smartphones help others save money.
Especially children's clothes, winter coats, and professional wear.
Prams, cots, toys, and children's furniture are highly sought after.

We are giving this electric grill away for free. It is fully working and has no electrical issues. The reason we are giving it away is that it was not very efficient for us, as it cooks a bit slowly. It may be suitable for someone patient or for light cooking needs.We didn’t want to throw it away — someone else might find it useful.
