Givore is a free app. You post something you no longer want, a neighbour asks for it, and they come and collect it. No money changes hands. If you already search Freecycle London or scroll the Gumtree freebies list, you know the idea. Givore puts it on a map of your bit of the city.
London is not one place. What people hand on in Hackney is rarely what they hand on in Ealing.
Flat shares here turn over all year round. When somebody moves out, the desk and the drying rack need a new home.
Students live all around here. When term ends, the bookshelves and the kettles have to go somewhere.
Small flats, shared houses. Chairs and mirrors mostly, and the sort of thing you can carry home on foot.
More houses here, and gardens with them. Garden chairs and tools come up when a family outgrows them, along with a lot of children's things.
Short leases. A whole kitchen can empty over one weekend when a tenancy ends.
Bigger homes, so bigger things. This is where it is worth asking about a fridge or a washing machine.
Tap reserve on the thing you want and say when you could collect. You do not have to beat anybody to it.
They see everyone who is waiting, and they pick. Someone round the corner with a van can be a better fit than someone who tapped a second sooner.
Chat in the app, agree a time, knock on the door. Putting something up yourself takes about half a minute.
Pick the item in your hallway that you keep walking past. Photograph it, post it, and let a neighbour take it away.
