Free Stuff San Francisco

Free stuff in San Francisco, honestly.

Givore is a free app. You post something, a neighbor asks, they collect it. Nothing is sold. Givore is small in San Francisco so far, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. The part you control is putting something on the map.

The things nobody wants to deal with.

Some items sit for weeks. Almost always the post is the problem, not the item. Here is the fix for each.

A mattress

Say the size, the age, and that it has been on a frame. Without those three, most people scroll past.

An old television

Photograph it switched on. That one picture answers the only question anybody has.

A printer

Name the model and say whether ink is included. Half of these go untaken for want of one line.

Exercise equipment

Heavy and awkward. Say how many flights of stairs and whether it folds.

A big bookshelf

Measure it before posting. Height and width, and how deep it is. Nobody can guess that from a photo.

Anything half broken

Say exactly what is wrong. Someone who repairs things will take it, and only if they trust the description.

Thirty seconds, spent well

One clear photo

Daylight, and nothing else in the frame beside it.

A title with a number in it

Size, model or measurement. Numbers get read and adjectives get skipped.

One honest line

What works, what does not, and how it has to be carried out.

Post the difficult one first.

If the awkward item goes, everything after it is easy.

Questions from San Francisco

Not many. It is new in this city and we would rather say so than dress it up. What a post costs you is thirty seconds, and that is how the map fills.
Usually the photo or the missing measurements. A second attempt with better light and a size in the title often does it.
Anything heavy, anything with a screen, and anything that needs two people and a staircase. It can still be done. It needs a clearer post.
Only roughly, until you have chosen somebody. The exact address is shared in the chat when you are ready.
Yes. Say the earliest date you can hand it over. People will wait a week for the right thing.
