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.
"Pine chest of drawers, 80cm wide" beats "drawers". People search for the word and then check the number.
Name the chip, the stain, the missing knob. Saying it up front stops a wasted trip and an awkward doorstep.
The area is enough. "Wavertree, front door straight onto the pavement" tells somebody everything they need.
Two or three windows, not one. Evenings after six and Saturday morning covers most people.
Say if you can take one end down the stairs. It changes who is willing to come for a heavy thing.
Daylight, item pulled away from the wall, nothing else in the frame. That is the part people judge first.
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.
Give the street and the house number and that is it. Nobody has to be let through a communal door.
Arrange the time in the app. There is no need to hand over your phone number unless you want to.
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.
