Buy Nothing groups

You can join your local Buy Nothing group to give, get and borrow items for free.

Getting started

A box of free CDs and other items

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:

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
  • Find and pick up free items
  • Borrow items for temporary use

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