Givore is a free app. You put up a thing you have finished with, somebody nearby asks for it, and they come and take it away. No money is involved at any point. Anyone who uses Freecycle Bristol or the Gumtree freebies list knows the pattern. Some things are easy to pass on and some are not. Here is the split.
Desks, dining chairs, small drawers, kitchen gear, plant pots, bikes, houseplants, boxes of books. Anything one person can lift alone.
Big corner sofas, old mattresses, heavy televisions, and flat-pack that has already been taken apart twice.
Each one needs a van, or two people, or a bit of trust about how clean it is. Any of those is enough to make somebody scroll on.
Put the measurements in the title. Photograph it in daylight. Say whether you can take one end down the stairs.
A lot of Bristol is terraced, and the parking outside decides whether a big item is realistic.
In Bedminster or Easton that one line decides whether somebody offers to come for a wardrobe.
Found It marks something usable that has been left on a pavement, so whoever is nearby can go and fetch it.
"Any evening this week after six" gets agreed to far more readily than one fixed hour on one fixed day.
Post the small thing you keep meaning to deal with. The awkward things are simpler once you have done one.
