GSA is a community for offering and receiving items at no cost — inspired by Freecycle-style sharing.
Declutter responsibly, reduce waste, and help each other.
Friendly warning: This community is strictly for FREE offers/requests.
If someone uses the community name to ask for money, report them — they can be banned permanently.

Need a local Mumbai GSA group?If you want to join the WhatsApp communities, click below — then pick the local group you want.
For seekers: include the area you can travel to (or whether you can arrange a WEFAST pickup).
For givers: clearly state pickup location (landmarks/suburbs/neighborhood).
What should I do if someone offers free items in the group but then tries to sell me other products via DM?
Use judgment in private messages. If someone feels suspicious or pushes sales, you can block them and move on.
The admins aim to keep the community clean, and members should also stay vigilant.
Do I have to create appreciation posts for my experience in the group?
No. Appreciation posts are optional (not compulsory).
I'm interested in donating items, but I have reservations about sharing my phone number or address. What should I do?
You can use Facebook Messenger instead of sharing your number. If you live in an apartment complex, you can arrange pickup from the security cabin.
If the receiver sends WEFAST, you may share your security staff’s name/number so pickup can be coordinated.
The group admin does not verify identities and is not responsible for outcomes.
How can I ensure that the item I offer finds its intended purpose rather than being resold for personal profit or gain?
Once you give something, it helps to let go of attachment to how it’s used later. If this causes ongoing stress, consider whether participation is good for your well-being.

Can I share negative experiences I've had in this group?
No. Please don’t post negative experiences publicly. Contact the admin privately to discuss and resolve.
Is this group solely for giving to the needy or the poor?
No. This group is for anyone willing to pick up items that you want to give away, regardless of their circumstances.
Many people are interested in the items I posted. Who should I give them to?
It’s your choice. Many givers prefer the first person who can pick up. Decide what feels right for you.
How can someone repeatedly request items on every offer that is posted? Shouldn't this activity be monitored and addressed by the Admins?
The group is growing fast and volunteers can’t realistically track every requester across every post.
The core mission is to give stuff away for free — please reflect on your motivation for being here and focus on giving/receiving responsibly.
Can I change my mind and decide not to give the item to anyone?
Yes, you can — but it’s best not to make a habit of it.
Should I provide the pickup location for the items I'm giving away?
Yes. Mention at least the landmark/suburb. It saves you from repeating yourself and helps people decide quickly.
Are there specific criteria for choosing who receives the items?
No. The giver has full discretion to decide who receives the items.
What items can I offer in this group?
Any legal and useful items (furniture, clothing, electronics, decor, plants, food, utensils, appliances, toys, etc.).
Tip: If you’re offering furniture, be transparent about condition and cleanliness to avoid unpleasant surprises.
I gave my Mobile but forgot to erase the data. What can I do?
The admin cannot assist with recovering items that have already been given away. Please ensure devices are properly wiped before handing them over.
Who is responsible if an item is damaged during transport?
Items are given as-is, and transport damage is an unfortunate risk of sharing. Resolution is based on goodwill and open communication between giver, receiver, and transporter.
What should I consider when giving items on a short-term basis?
This platform is for giving away items, not lending/borrowing. If you give something “temporarily,” return/condition can’t be guaranteed — the risk is with the giver.
