Free stuff in Zürich

Zürich gives away a surprising amount every day — especially in dense neighbourhoods like Wiedikon, Aussersihl and Seefeld, where every move frees up usable furniture, bikes and kitchen gear. On PIKITUP you see these free items right on the map, instead of scrolling through endless listings.

There is constant turnover around the universities and student areas like Langstrasse and Oerlikon: at the end of each semester, shelves, desks and electronics get put out for pickup rather than thrown away. In family neighbourhoods like Schwamendingen and Höngg it is more often strollers, toys and garden items being given away.

You never have to message anyone or place a bid: you spot an item near you, go to the listed address and take it. First come, first served. And when you declutter yourself, put your things on the map in seconds — someone in the neighbourhood will be glad you did.
