Share, Save Money & Reduce Waste Locally With Ditmas Park NeighborGoods

According to local sharing site NeighborGoods, $22 million of Americans’ money goes to storage per year. Are you contributing to the “too much stuff” market? We know we are.

Luckily, a relatively new Ditmas Park section of NeighborGoods is here to help you borrow that vacuum cleaner, loan your mallet, or rent out your lawnmower, all while saving money and reducing clutter and waste.

Long gone are the days when many of us felt safe opening our doors to a new neighbor looking for hedge clippers, or felt confident they’d ever return them anyway–but some pros of NeighborGoods include the ability to rate reliable (and unreliable) users, as well as to connect with neighbors several blocks over who might not know you have just the thing they’ve been meaning to get for only one project.

Beyond that, users can choose to lend to everyone within a certain vicinity or only friends, charge or offer items for free, and more. As the (free, unless you want premium membership) site puts it, “It’s your stuff, so you set the rules.”

The more users NeighborGoods has, the more effectively it works–so if you’re interested in meeting more neighbors through the exchange of goods, making a little cash off what you’ve got collecting dust, or even just saving that cash on buying or storage, set up your inventory and wish list at NeighborGoods today.
