Item listing with photos

What this page covers
Use this hub to explore how item listings with photos can support reuse and redistribution instead of disposal. Clear information and simple online tools help residents pass items on without sending them to bulky waste pickup.
When bulky items are not accepted in standard pickup programs, residents benefit from being guided to other organizations or channels that can take them. Listings with photos make it easier for others to see what is available and decide quickly.
A simple, user-friendly reservation or request system around these listings reduces confusion, saves time, and helps more items find a new home rather than ending up as waste.
