Hello All
This is my first time posting on this forum. I live I N.Cal. We here have a lot houses with fruit trees especially oranges. I always walk and see that the fruits fall down and rot on the ground. When I ask the owners , they usually say we can not consume it all.
So I wanted to reduce the waste. I created and App and a website that allows people to post their trees fruits so their neighbors can come and pick them up or buy them. The website is www.BackyardCart.com

The website is non profit. I just want to take some steps to make organic fruits available for everyone.

Thank you

Nice idea.  Site looks respectable enough.
Nothing within 100 miles of me.  
I have used https://fallingfruit.org/ to find local fruit to harvest.

Reading through the terms of service.  Were they cut-and-paste from somewhere?  My initial perception was that the site was free to use, it just was a way to help sellers meet buyers... but this:

"Billing and payments
You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. If, in our judgment, your purchase constitutes a high-risk transaction, we will require you to provide us with a copy of your valid government-issued photo identification, and possibly a copy of a recent bank statement for the credit or debit card used for the purchase. We reserve the right to change products and product pricing at any time. We also reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made."
