Looking to clear out clutter without tossing it? Kaiserslautern’s online swap and gift market offers a free way to pass along items you no longer need.

The city-run platform lets users donate or exchange goods, including toys, clothes and household items, instead of throwing them away. No sales are allowed, but trades can be arranged, even for small gestures like a bar of chocolate.

Browse or post offers and requests for free on the city’s website.
