Questions & Answers

How does this work?

Neighbors offer things they no longer need, and neighbors who need them ask. A real person connects the two — it's a matching board, not a store. Everything here is free.

Is my information private?

Yes. The public board shows only the item and your general area — never your name, phone, or address. A real person handles the connection privately.

How does pickup work?

Once you're matched, we send you the pickup details. You have 48 hours to pick it up — no scheduling back and forth.

What can I give?

Usable things another neighbor could still enjoy — and that are safe and legal to give away. When you post, you'll confirm the item is yours to give.

Can I talk to a person?

Always. Email hello@reusesouthcounty.org and a real person will get back to you.

Clearing out a whole home?

Coming next

Moving · Decluttering · Bulk donation

Moving or clearing a garage means a lot of good things at once. We're building a way to give many items together and send whatever neighbors don't claim straight to a local partner, so none of it lands in the trash. Coming as the pilot grows.

Yana, in Morgan Hill

Hi, I'm Yana — your neighbor.

Morgan Hill is my new home, and I love it here. I've volunteered with local charities like The Free Store in Gilroy and St. Catherine's Community Closet, and I'm still meeting the people who make these towns what they are.

I've been part of Buy Nothing groups and apps like Nextdoor, and I kept seeing the same thing. Giving something away is easy — it's finding what you need that's hard. A neighbor posts looking for something, and it's buried before anyone who has it sees it — or they see it, have the thing, and can't find the post again. Either way, they never connect. I also saw comments in Spanish flagged and hidden, neighbors shut out for asking in their own language. And people like me, who'd rather stay off social media, end up with good things sitting in the garage.

For my family it was a big telescope. It still worked, but no one wanted to message strangers or coordinate a pickup — so it went in the trash. A neighbor would have loved it.

That was the moment. What if there were a simple way to match neighbors close to home — faster, easier, off social media, and safe — so that telescope could find a second life? That's how Free Morgan Hill began. But neighbors don't stop at the town line. Morgan Hill, San Martín, Gilroy — we're all South County, and it's a community I care about deeply. So it grew into Free South County.

Welcome. Here, goods circulate for good.
