Freecycle Liverpool Alternative

Free stuff in Liverpool starts with the post you write.

Givore is a free app for giving things to neighbours. Nothing has a price and nobody can ask you for a penny. People typing free stuff Liverpool or Freecycle Liverpool are looking for the same arrangement. Whether your old wardrobe finds somebody usually comes down to five short lines.

Five lines that do the work

Line one: what it is, with a size

"Pine chest of drawers, 80cm wide" beats "drawers". People search for the word and then check the number.

Line two: the honest condition

Name the chip, the stain, the missing knob. Saying it up front stops a wasted trip and an awkward doorstep.

Line three: where it is

The area is enough. "Wavertree, front door straight onto the pavement" tells somebody everything they need.

Line four: when you are in

Two or three windows, not one. Evenings after six and Saturday morning covers most people.

Line five: whether you can lift

Say if you can take one end down the stairs. It changes who is willing to come for a heavy thing.

And the photo

Daylight, item pulled away from the wall, nothing else in the frame. That is the part people judge first.

Handovers on a Liverpool doorstep.

A lot of Liverpool is two-up two-down terraces, where the front door opens straight onto the street. That makes collections simpler than in a block of flats.

No buzzer to explain

Give the street and the house number and that is it. Nobody has to be let through a communal door.

Keep it in the chat

Arrange the time in the app. There is no need to hand over your phone number unless you want to.

Clearing a whole house

Post the bed and the wardrobe before the small things. A house clearance is much easier once the big items are spoken for.

Pick one thing, photograph it while there is still light, and put it up.

Liverpool questions

About half a minute. One photo, a title with the size in it, and a line about where you are. That is the whole job.
The purpose is the same and both cost nothing. Freecycle Liverpool is built on group posts. Givore shows items on a map with photos, so you can judge an item before you message.
A dark photo taken at night, a one-word title, and no clue how big the thing is. Any of those on its own will leave an item sitting there.
No. Most handovers happen at the front door. Bring the item to the step and keep it short if you would rather.
Yes. You choose who gets your item, and you can change your mind before it leaves the house.
