How do I join a Buy Nothing group?

Joining the Buy Nothing project is easy, and you have two main ways to participate: through the Buy Nothing App or a local Facebook group.


1. Join via the Buy Nothing App

The app offers the most flexibility for sharing with your neighbors.

  • No specific group required: You can start sharing immediately with people nearby based on your location.
  • Private Communities: You also have the option to join or create private sharing communities for specific groups (like a neighborhood, workplace or apartment building).

2. Join via Facebook

Many communities host local Buy Nothing groups on Facebook. To ensure you are joining an official group:

  1. Create a Buy Nothing account on our website or app.
  2. Navigate to Settings.
  3. Select Registered Buy Nothing Groups to view a curated list of official Facebook groups by location.
