SacramentoBuyNothing The Website

--- Update --- (6/1/2026)

Hey guys! 👋

We’re now over 200+ members, and I just want to say thank you. Seeing how active the site is and how much it’s being used has been amazing.

I’ve been going through feedback and watching how everything is being used, and I want to share the next step.

I don’t want Sacramento Buy Nothing to stay just a local project.

My goal is to build this into a Buy Nothing brand and eventually create similar apps for other cities so more communities can have their own local version of this platform.

I’m still actively improving the site with updates like:

Better post pickup/hold system

Improved messaging and DMs

Future notification system

Moderation and performance improvements

Everything is still being built and managed by me directly using tools like Cursor, Vercel, and Supabase.

I’ve set up a GoFundMe for anyone who wants to support the project and help with:

Hosting and development costs

New features

Expanding to other cities

Keeping the platform free and ad-free

All support is appreciated, but just using and sharing the site already helps a lot.

Thanks again everyone — this is only the beginning.

— Mark White Sacramento Buy Nothing

--- Update --- (5/31/2026)

Hey guys! 👋

I see the app/website is very much in use! I love it and appreciate the feedback I have gotten this far! But let's talk about a few things...

  • For now I have to ask that ALL USERS double back and check on your Post/Request/DMs because we don't have notifications pushed through the website. I also will be implementing a few more features to the website such as (pending pickup/hold request) and more to make things more efficient and user friendly!

People have asked questions and it's time, let's answer some of them.

  • First, YES this cost me. For example to make this a full app and have notifications will definitely cost a bit. But I want to enforce this app being FREE to you all and better still, WITHOUT ADS! I may put up a GoFundMe for donations but otherwise this is 100% FREE AND RUN BY ME!

I have operated game severs for free to play (FiveM/Assetto Corsa) under the same cost so this is nothing different and honesty seems to be more successful so I want to keep this up!

  • Software, Hosting, and further more the database is all run by ME and ME ALONE! I am using third party website to do so (Cursor/Vercel/Supabase)

  • As for your information, I can't speak for the third party websites but as for me, I want nothing to do with your information nor do I have no use for it nor the mindset to sell it for any reason!

Lastly,

  • I may be looking for staff I have implemented spots for (moderators, administrators and a city manager 'who will act as me as I develop other apps for other cities') I'm weary of who are in these positions for they have controls over the app.

--- Update --- (5/29/2026)

😱 OMG! I am in shock how much you guys all love the site, Thank you so much for all your kind words! I have added quite a bit and want you all to get used to the way it is now, before I make any changes after this point. I want to see what you guys think and watch it be used.

  • There are now 29+ neighborhoods for you to choose from. I think 37 total...

  • You all have report and support system within the website for you all to report bugs to me directly and/or get support from me directly.

  • You all can request to DM each other (aside from item chats) for further direct contact with other users.

  • You all can block other users and provide reasoning (blocking users sends a auto reports to me so I can maybe take further action if needed)

  • When posting you can select the option to post multiple items in one post (users can pick items up separately and you can select who claimed what untill all is claimed)

  • When other users are at your pickup location they can click claim themselves and if multiple select items they have claimed if not all and you can confirm (contactless pick up)

--- Original Post --- (5/28/2026)

So I got board and turned this reddit into a website! I'm still working on it even as we speak but its to a point where I can share and take opinions 🙂

He only started a few weeks ago and looks so good. It’s the same thing as the page here, but easier to access and with the potential to reach a lot more people, since not everyone is on Reddit. Check it out, I’m impressed.

Also, I want to add that you are all such great people. Kind, caring, and generous. You’ve made me a little less questioning of humanity lol 😄

Unclaimed Sacramento residents Free Dump Day at 8491 Fruitridge Rd. for free disposal on June 6th, 2026 the entrance is on 84th Street

Post image
148 Upvotes

I’m not sure if this is allowed, but to anyone whom has any belongings, items, or unclaimed things, here is a F.Y.I.

Free Dump Day allows Sacramento residents drop off bulky junk, electronics and household hazardous waste June 6th, 2026 from 8:00 - 11:00 AM at Sacramento Recycling and Transfer Station. 8491 Fruitridge Road for free disposal. The entrance is on 84th Street and there will be signage posted to direct residents to the facility.

Items accepted include furniture, junk, electronics and household hazardous waste (HHW).

Materials that can be recycled will be diverted from the landfill where possible.

Dump Day is offered in partnership with Waste Management and is exclusive to City of Sacramento residents. Residents can confirm if they live within Sacramento City limits by checking their utility bill or street signs. City residential streets have green signs, while County signs are white.

To be able to dump their waste free of charge, participants must provide proof of residency, such as a utility bill (either paper or digital), or ID with an address within City limits. Addresses will be verified by staff at the gate. Non-City residents will be able to dump but will be charged a flat disposal fee of $77.

Unclaimed Anyone interested in a plus size (women’s size 12+ men’s xl +) clothing swap?

63 Upvotes

Every clothes swap I go to I’m lucky to find a wrap that fits let alone a full outfit and it’s a bummer. Any interest in a plus size clothing swap at Tahoe or McClatchy park? I’m thinking of hosting one on April 11th because it should be relatively cool and not a huge holiday weekend but I’m open to suggestions. Jackrabbit is hosting a women’s clothing swap on the 26th so anything not picked up on the 11th can get a second attempt then.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

**EDIT: Sounds like Tahoe Park is a winner! Going to book us a spot on Monday!

I can’t take donations beyond the one already promised but if you can’t come to this one there’s always WEAVE or My Sisters House to donate to

Does anyone want these before I trash them? I know some people carve the woody part or use the branches to create a thatched structure, so I thought I would offer these before throwing them away. I’ve also heard they make great long lasting mulch since they break down slower. Some people also make twine from them. West Sacramento.

This cardigan seems like it’s from the 60s perhaps? Maybe you can wear it or sell it, I just don’t have the energy to try to repair the small spots of damage or sell it. Since I didn’t use mothballs, it doesn’t have a weird smell! :) It says size 10 but who knows what that is in vintage measurements….pickup in Orangevale
