Spring is here, and with it comes that familiar feeling of wanting to refresh your home. But before you start filling bin bags with items you no longer need, consider a better alternative: sharing them with your neighbours through Waki. Here's how to make your spring cleaning effective and supportive of your community.

Start small

Don't try to tidy the whole house in one weekend. Pick one room or area and focus on items that are still in good condition but no longer serve you. That jacket you haven't worn in two years? The kitchen appliance gathering dust? These could be exactly what someone in your community is looking for.

Room-by-room cleaning

  • Wardrobes: Sort clothes by season. If you didn't wear it last year, you probably won't wear it this year either. Donate clothes in good condition through Waki to give them a new home.
  • Bookshelves: Books you've already read or textbooks from courses you've finished can delight new readers in your neighbourhood.
  • Kitchen: Extra dishes, small appliances you rarely use, or duplicate kitchen utensils are perfect for sharing with families just starting out.
  • Children's rooms: Kids quickly outgrow toys and games. Pass them on to other families who can enjoy them.

The Waki advantage

Instead of driving to donation centres or waiting for collection services, Waki lets you share items directly with your neighbours. Simply take a photo, add a quick description, and connect with nearby people who actually want what you're offering. It's convenient, personal, and strengthens community connections.

A Spanish tradition of solidarity

In Spain, we have a long tradition of helping neighbours and community solidarity. Waki simply digitises this beautiful custom, allowing you to be generous with your community in a modern and efficient way. It's like the traditional exchange between neighbours, but easier and with greater reach.
