We have a very active "Facebook Buy Nothing" group with over 600 members for people living in Bishopston, St Andrews and Horfield. It works really well. People give things away usually to the first person who says they want it and the group doesn't have complicated rules as described in the Guardian article which refers to Australia. Often items are borrowed or requested as well. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/jan/04/inside-the-hyper-local-world-of-facebooks-buy-nothing-groups?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
