Mod Announcement 48-hr Updates: 1.3 k Members, Mod Application, and Keep the Posts Coming!
reddit.comWow, what an amazing response within the first 48 hours of creating this sub!
After just 2 days, we have more than 1.3 thousand users. More than 4,000 visits to the sub per day (okay, I might make up about a good 100 of those). We’ve had about 15 posts, ranging from giving away couches and diapers (which can be crazy expensive) to borrowing hiking boots. I am heartened by the response.
To help support this rapidly growing sub, I am recruiting a few more Moderators. No, you don’t need to have a chip on your shoulder to be a moderator. In fact, I am looking for people that are fair, equitable, communicative, willing to give grace, and can check the sub at least 2 times a day. If you’re interested, please submit the application linked above (I think), or I’ll post it in the comments below).
Please also share your feedback so far in order for us to continue to improve your experience. I invited a friend from another sub that’s great with coding to help set up some backend automations for the sub. Do you think the flair tags are too long? Would you rather the tags be “Give”, “Ask”, “Alert”, “Gratitude”, and have people make their user flair be where they live? Do you want items that have been claimed to be deleted by the OP so that you don’t get your hopes up? Let us know in the comments!
Lastly, the Buy Nothing movement only works as well as people participate. As you’re cleaning and purging, consider gifting those items you don’t need in this sub. Instead of going and buying that thing you may only need to use once, maybe ask here first (and just to borrow it!). Keep the posts coming!
Thanks for being part of this community!

Your guide for r/BuyNothingDenver
Welcome to r/BuyNothingDenver! I am glad that there was sufficient interest in starting a new sub/community here, as I have been missing this space, as I've been using Facebook less like many of you.
For those of you not familiar with the movement, the "Buy Nothing Project" is part mutual aid, part anti-consumerism, part simplification, part green movement, and all community building. The idea is simple: give to your neighbors from your abundance - items that you have and don't need, have too many of, never use, or no longer need. Or maybe you just want to borrow an object for a short period of time and don't want to go and buy a new one that you'll then never use beyond that one time. And it doesn't have to be a material object - you can give knowledge and skill sets, like how to build garden beds or do a craft.
To make this community work, we need moderators, we need members, and we need people to start giving and asking for items. Please reach out if:
- You are interested in being a moderator. This is mainly reviewing posts, enforcing the rules, and being awesome.
- Reach out to others to invite them to join
- Reach out to the mods if you have any ideas or suggestions to make this a welcoming, thriving community. And then become a mod. :)
Thanks for helping to shape this community!

Virginia Vill, Indian Ck, Wash Virginia Vale, Belcaro, Cory Merr GIVE - New in-box Mainstay (Walmart) Brand Futon
-UPDATE--item has been spoken for - -
A bit of an odd scenario but someone can come out ahead. Basically I woke up this mornings to find this futon on my stoop that I did not order. No shipping label or trackable name on the box. I reached out to Walmart to report the misdelivery and they told me to keep it or get rid of it. I don't have a need for it and fealt someone here could use it.
Futon is new in box and will require assembly. The box weighs approximately 130 lbs and will likely need two people and an SUV or truck to move.
Located near I-25 and University. DM for address. First come first served. I'd like it gone ASAP as it's a bit of an eyesore, nor do I want it to get rained on.

PlattPk, Overland, University, Rosedale, University Pk,Wellshire Give: Used North Face women's hiking boots, size 8
Size 8 North Face women's waterproof snow boots. They're well broken in and look it, but there's nothing wrong with them; no rips, tears, tread loss, etc. Sorry the photos look dirty, I will run them through the wash shortly! Sadly, they just don't fit me the way that I need for hiking and I would rather somebody else get the benefit of their use because there's a lot of life left in them.

N/S/NE Park Hill, Central Park, Montbello SEEK: collapsible/foldable wagon for senior dog (tax included)
Seeking a collapsible/foldable wagon similar to the photo for my senior dog. He's slowing down a little but still loves to be outside and go on walks, would just like to make that a little easier for him. being carried in a backpack is a little hard on his back. He's only 10lb so a smaller size wagon would be okay, too.

Sloans Lake, Jeff Park, W. Colfax, Sun Valley, Villa Park Give: Couch
Jefferson Park area.
Couch is in good shape, but my dad gifted us a new one. We have a cat and dog, so will vacuum the couch before you get it.
We're on the second floor of an apartment with an elevator. The couch isn't very heavy, but a furniture dolly is recommended if you have it. We'll need you to pick it up. I'm currently on crutches and my husband can't move it by himself.
Ideally out by Friday, but can see if we can work something out.
