I haven't done much with the project. But I am a part of my neighborhood's Buy Nothing facebook group. And the church I attend hosts their Junk in the Trunk events about once a quarter. It is a great place to pass along things tht we don't need and get some useful things.

Yes, our neighbourhood Buy Nothing Facebook group is fantastic! We have been involved for about 6 years with this group and have gotten to know many of our neighbours this way.
We can usually find random things we need: jars for canning, bedsheets, flyscreen tools, work lights, garden supplies, seeds, suitcases, spare parts, paint, shoes--you name it!
Neighbours also give away excess produce or plants and things like that.
We love the opportunity to pass on our excess and help someone out or declutter regularly and after a while when you have built some relationships you end up finding it even more useful because you have people who will let you borrow their trailer or mulcher or let you use their washing machine when yours breaks or give the gift of knowledge and help you sort out a problem/tell you where to find something or offer to help fix something.
If course the reverse is true and we have now many people in our area whom we know and trust because of experience with them through this group--I would highly recommend it!
