Where to find free stuff in Ireland
Updated 9 November 2026
People give away perfectly good things all the time because selling them is not worth the hassle. The trick is being quick and easy to deal with.
Where to look
- BidBuy’s Free Stuff category — set a saved search and get an email the moment something is listed.
- Local community noticeboards and your county council’s reuse schemes.
- Post a wanted ad — people with things to give away search for them.
Getting it
- Reply quickly and say when you can collect.
- Turn up when you say you will.
- Bring help and the right vehicle.
Giving things away
List it at €0 in Free Stuff with a clear photo and a collection window. Collection-only, first come first served, is the line that saves you a dozen messages.
