In Australia and globally, households and businesses are committed to doing their bit for the environment, however we have little choice when it comes to getting rid of hard waste and more often than not, at a significant cost to ratepayers and to the environment, we rid ourselves of these items into landfill.

How often have you replaced working household items for brand new ones, have left over renovation materials sitting in the shed or a much loved but unused cubby house in the yard? The fact is that most of us would much rather see our old and no longer used items put to good use in someone else’s home, business or by recipients of a charitable organisation, and this is where ziilch comes in!

Sound good? Here are a few more great reasons to use ziilch to give and receive, recycle and re-use;

• Reduce unwanted clutter in your home
• Reuse another’s unwanted items
• Help the environment by reducing landfill waste
• Minimise your environmental footprint
• Find great free bargains
• Free, simple and fast online recycling
• Reduce curb side dumping
• Be a part of creating a sustainable community free trade platform
• Contribute to hard rubbish collection savings for Councils and ultimately for ratepayers

ziilch also features Organisation Listings so that you can check to see what charities, not for profit organisations and social enterprises are in need of, and potentially help someone less fortunate than you. The site also includes a comprehensive Services Directory with helpful information about all matters relating to recycling, re-use and collections in your area.

We hope you enjoy and benefit from using ziilch as much as we do!

ziilch (pronounced "zilch") - a like minded community of givers and receivers who care about the environment and value the premise that one person’s clutter is another person’s treasure.
