Give away what you no longer want, without it hanging around
Kadoz puts people in the same neighbourhood in touch, in Belgium and Luxembourg. You list an item, someone finds it, they come and collect it. It is free, and your address stays private.
You list it
A photo, a title, a category. The app often guesses the type of item from the title, and all you have to do is confirm.
The volume is worked out automatically: a chest of drawers is 1.20 m³, a chair 0.20. That is the figure that will count for your municipality.
Someone finds it
Your item appears in the list of people searching around them, sorted by distance. Nobody stumbles on it by chance: whoever sees it was looking for exactly that.
They can ask a public question before deciding. Your answer helps everyone who looks afterwards.
They come and collect it
The first person to reserve puts a hold on it: everyone else immediately sees the item as taken. You accept or decline, and your address is only sent once you agree.
You agree on a time in the conversation. At the handover, they show a code and you scan it. The item is closed and its volume counted.
One handover, two roles
As the giver
Someone puts a hold on your item and you are notified. You accept or decline: your address only appears to them once you agree. You agree on a time in the conversation, and at the handover you scan their code.
That action is what closes the giveaway and counts its volume. If you do not reply, the item goes back online after forty-eight hours.
As the taker
You reserve the item, and everyone else immediately sees it as taken. You wait for the giver to agree, then you receive their exact address. You come along and show your four-character code.
Two active collection points at most, six items per point. A reserved item is invisible to everyone else: only reserve what you will actually come and collect.
What gets given away
Sixteen categories, one hundred and twenty-six types of item. Each one carries a volume, and that volume stays out of the skip.
What cannot be given away
For safety or legal reasons. A dangerous item reported by several people is taken down automatically.
