How Kerb Side works

1. Take a photo. One is enough, though you can add up to six. Location data is stripped automatically.
2. Name it and pick a category. “Wooden coffee table”, Furniture. A short description helps.
3. Add your collection address. This stays private — it is only shared with whoever claims the item.
4. Add a collection note. “Outside the front gate”, “please bring a trailer”, “heavy — two people recommended”.
5. Post it. Your listing goes live to people nearby straight away.

The whole thing takes under a minute.

Every listing stays live for 5 hours. You will see a countdown on your own listing — “LIVE FOR 4h 32m”.

When the time is up we ask you one question: is it still available?

If you do not answer within 12 hours the listing retires on its own, so nobody turns up for something that went days ago.

1. Find something nearby. The feed shows free items within 5 km by default. You can narrow it to 1 or 2 km.
2. Tap “I’ll collect it”. You will be asked to confirm — claiming takes the item out of the feed for everyone else.
3. Get the address. The collection address appears in My Collections, along with any collection notes.
4. Go and collect it within 24 hours. If you cannot make it, cancel so someone else can have it.
5. Mark it collected. That closes the loop for the person who gave it away.

Kerb Side is not a marketplace. There are no prices, no offers, no swaps, no koha. Any listing that mentions money is refused automatically. This is the rule that makes the rest of it work — nobody has to haggle, and nobody has to wonder whether they are being taken for a ride.
