Thanks. I will go check it out. Seems like a good platform to get free things. Saw a few mattress and daily necessities

Search for FREEGAN in facebook for freegan groups.
u can search for OLIO in ur app store or google play store.
its an app to distribute free food, but there are non-food freebies inside too

Try Olio on the App Store. It was originally intended to prevent food waste, but is now also used to rehome items that are no longer in use. I know this post is not too recent, but I’m sure this will help anyone in the same bind.

I gave away a brand new hair dryer to someone on that platform.

Got it free as part of a shampoo bundle.
