About Nimms.ch

What is Nimms.ch?

Nimms.ch is a Swiss platform for free items, run since 2017 by the Bern-based non-profit association Everyday Heroes. Items are listed in categories and per-canton overviews. The platform has no map search and is available in German and English only – not in French or Italian.

While Nimms.ch serves its purpose, Pikitup takes a more modern approach: an interactive map shows you instantly what is available near you. Contact directly, agree on a time, pick it up – it is that simple.
