Everything on Porch Swing is free. Just neighbors giving away things they no longer need. Need a stroller before the baby comes? A desk for the spare room? A jacket your kid will outgrow in a year? Someone nearby already has one sitting in a closet, and they would rather it went to you than to a landfill. DISCOVER GIFTS NEARBY + Everything is free + See exactly how far away each gift is + One comment says you're interested + Save money while saving landfill space + No Facebook account required DECLUTTER WITHOUT LEAVING HOME + Snap a photo to create a post in 30 seconds + Clear a closet in one go with bulk posts + Pick who gets it — or let a random draw decide for you + Never retype your address; saved pickup instructions go into every chat + Neighbors pick up gifts from your porch, avoiding landfill HOW IT WORKS 1. Join your neighborhood group. 2. Browse free gifts nearby, or post something you're done with. 3. Comment on anything you'd like. 4. The giver picks a recipient and you arrange pickup in chat. 5. One more usable thing stays out of the landfill. WHY NEIGHBORS USE IT Reusing what's already on your street saves money, keeps good things out of the waste stream, and introduces you to the people who live around you.
