Buy Nothing groups

Join your local Buy Nothing group to give, get, and borrow items for free.

Getting started

Buy Nothing is a global gift economy network. Everything is freely-given and freely-received.

There are two different ways to participate in Buy Nothing:

  1. Download the phone app
  2. Join your Buy Nothing Facebook group

Once in your group you can do the following at no charge:

  • Give items you no longer want
  • Ask for items you are looking for
  • Borrow items for temporary use

You'll be surprised at the types of items your neighbors have a use for.
