Written, edited and reviewed by Rory before publishing. How we make guides
After a sale in Yuba-Sutter, give what's left to neighbors through a Buy Nothing group, book a free charity or city pickup, or take it to a drop-off. Each option below links to the organization's own page, with the date we last checked it. Hours and rules change, so check before you go.
Give it away to neighbors
Buy Nothing groups are for giving things to neighbors, free. Selling, trading and advertising aren't allowed, so post each thing as a gift rather than promoting your sale. You join the group for where you live.
Buy Nothing Project (local gift groups and app)Free
Neighbors give things away for free. No selling, trading, bartering, advertising or marketing, so it suits leftovers you'd give away, not promoting a sale.
Join through the Buy Nothing app (share with people nearby), or create a Buy Nothing account, go to Settings and pick your official local Facebook group from 'Registered Buy Nothing Groups'.
