What is Ziilch?
Embrace a feel-good and sustainable approach
to de-cluttering and re-use with Ziilch.
Ziilch (pronounced “zilch” and meaning “zero, zip, nada”) –
is a like-minded community of givers and receivers who
care about their community and environment and
value the notion that one person’s clutter is
another person’s treasure.
Providing a way for Australians to give away items they
no longer want to other people that may need them,
Ziilch’s free community-driven platform promotes
social responsibility and environmental sustainability
by keeping good stuff out of landfill.
Supporting a circular economy model, Ziilch encourages
landfill diversion by re-using, repairing, upcycling
and recycling.

Who is responsible for Ziilch?
Ziilch is overseen by a dedicated team of volunteers
who are committed to reducing waste by redirecting
valuable items away from landfill. The founders recognised
the need for a specific platform that could facilitate
the exchange of household and everyday items
that would otherwise end up in hard rubbish
or landfill, particularly those that could not be donated.
