How it works

1. Find something local

Search by item, city or ZIP, then narrow by category or listing type. Empty results mean no neighbor has posted a matching item yet.

2. Contact the seller

Open a listing and send a message. The message goes to the seller's Local Trade Garden inbox. The site does not expose a home address or handle payment.

3. Make the exchange directly

Agree on the details with the other person, inspect the goods, and meet in a sensible public place when practical. Local Trade Garden does not broker, guarantee or become part of the deal.
