Love a great tag sale bargain, or better yet, a freebie? Good news! There are many online communities serving the New York City area you can tap for leads on gently used merchandise for sale, trade, or free pick-up.

In addition to groups offering secondhand items for sale, many Facebook communities were inspired by the global Buy Nothing Project encouraging no-strings-attached gifting of items—both new and gently used—to neighbors. These groups offer all types of goods including furniture, clothing, food, and miscellaneous household items free of charge as simple gestures of goodwill and sustainable living.
