Trash Nothing: Free Stuff

Great app, grouping different recycling groups into one place (Freegle, Freecycle, etc). Easy to use. Don't worry about most bad reviews, these are related to the dealing with other users, not the app itself.

I can't send or receive messages, I've tried contacting trashnothing support but they have done nothing about it! I don't receive messages and if I send messages I get no response. Someone had to send SMS to me that they sent a message to me but I didn't see it. I'm really angry as I have been battling with this for over a month. I feel like I'm invisible when I request an item. Please don't say it's because they receive loads of reply because when I chat them on Freegle they say " no message"

Exactly the same as the old app except there are ads. App collects your data and does not give you the option to opt out of non essential data being taken. This is against the law not to ask people of they wish to opt out. Better to stick to it on the browser where its the exact same as the app but ads and data can be controlled.

Was good until they changed it so you couldn't ask for people to drop off items, I am unable to drive so cannot collect and I have no one to help so I would ask for items to be brought to me and I'd offer to pay for fuel had to delete app after they changed it so you could no longer ask for items to be delivered.

Great app, it does what it says on the tin. Easy to use. One advise: when people are collecting just give full postcode but not your house number untill they're on their way to pick up, to avoid no-show time wasters. Enjoy and keep stuff out of landfills.

I love trash nothing (formerly known as "freecycle" on yahoo groups, yes many a moons ago!)... Fantastic way to pass on your unused / unwanted / no longer required items to someone else. And of course find some great gems. GAdmins are fantastic. Fair policy rules are great. Ability to select maximum distance for your search and / or groups based on areas of location.

Great app for a second life of things you don't need any more. Functionally could be better but hey, it works. People who are giving poor reviews mostly complain about the lack of "good stuff". You are TOTALLY missing the point. People are not giving away £200 iPhones. It's stuff that could be saved from the skip by someone else.

Very useful app. I only had a good experience. People giving free stuff away are very respectful.

currently unable to use this app for the last few days as the page is stuck on loading. I've cleared cache, uninstalled, re-installed, checked updates and still nothing. ***update*** this problem has now been sorted, and I'm now able to use the app again.

Was good but now it takes control of managing when things have been given away. I have only a couple of days to reply to post even when any messages I get just say"pls" or it withdraws the post. It's now changed an item to gifted when I wanted it promised then had a no show. Can't put it back on without advertising it again. Having said that, I do like keeping my messages in one place, but it always had that. Definitely prefer the old version.

Extremely easy to use, never had any issues with it. I like that you can set multiple groups in your area in your profile so they're always easily available.

Great improvements, thank you. It would be helpful to flag users who ignore messages or fail to update item status after promising or giving something away. Ratings should also display separate counts of positive and negative feedback, rather than just a cumulative average, since the current method makes them meaningless.

Great app! it feels great to be able to donate things to people who can use them. It is also allowed me get some gardening supplies.

An absolutely brilliant community and a fantastic idea for an app. Giving it one less star as the newest version has stuck Google ads in the app. I get wanting to make a bit of money off the app, but ads are just annoying to deal with. I would rather pay for an ad-free version (no subscription)

This app itself is fine, but the number of flakes in recent months has skyrocketed, to the point where if somebody says they want to take something there's a 9/10 chance they won't show. I would rather just do a post on the Craigslist free section, or leave something out on the curb. That said, when the app works, and when people show up and participate, it is useful.

Not working. It worked again when I restarted my phone, for a day, but again, it's sitting in a load and never loading, and I have offers pending. When I do get a message they sender also speaks of difficulty with ap all the sudden. I really love and enjoy this when it works, but now it's very frustrating. I shouldn't have to restart my phone every time I try to use it, but I'll try thay again now.

App: Super simple and easy to use. Very effective design. Ads are not intrusive. Kudos to the developer(s). 👏👏👏 Concept: Wonderful. Being able to help people in my community makes me happy, and I love looking at all the neat things people are gifting! Beds, couches, food, tools, toys, decorations, craft supplies, etc. The only downside to this app is that there aren't more people using it! Y'all... It's FREE! If you need something, ask! If you have something, tell!
