Give instead of throwing away: furniture and equipment

Most items thrown away in Algeria are still usable. The problem is almost never the condition of the item, but the time it takes to get rid of it — and that time is exactly what this site shortens.

What goes fastest

  • Working electrical appliances — a fridge, a washing machine or a fan in working order finds a taker within hours.
  • Clothes and bedding — clean and folded, always in demand.
  • Tools and small equipment — drills, ladders, containers: much sought after for small building jobs.
  • Second-hand furniture — less in demand, but never unsellable: honestly describe the condition.

Announcing a donation properly

Three things are enough: a real photo, the exact condition (working, dented, to be repaired) and your commune. Without a photo the listing is ignored; without a commune the candidate has to write and ask a question they could have answered themselves.

Publishing a donation takes one minute from creating a listing, choosing the free type.

Why it is useful

A given item takes up no landfill space and costs nothing to remove. And when a donation listing ends, its owner can mark it as completed: that is what feeds the activity counters of a profile and unlocks reviews, two elements that make an account more credible to buyers.

One last practical point: set a wide collection window rather than an exact hour. Donations fail far more often on a narrow slot than on a heavy object.
