How it works

Four steps, no money

  1. An open bundle box

    Post a bundle

    Gather what they no longer use, group it by age and category, and post it with a couple of photos.

  2. A stack of credit coins

    Earn credits

    When your bundle is approved you get credits. The more you share, the more you have to spend.

  3. Stacked bundle boxes
