Create your Reuse Kirklees account

Choose your display name, username and broad Kirklees collection area. You can also save a private collection address, which stays hidden until you select a collector.

Add the item and choose your interest period

Add the item details, photograph and collection availability. With Automatic fair selection, the system chooses an eligible member when your selected interest period ends. You can still offer the item manually at any time while the listing is open.

Remember: automatic selection happens after your chosen time frame, but manual selection is available at any time while the listing is open.

Your item starts accepting interest

The live listing shows the item information and collection times you supplied. As members register interest, their names appear in the interested-members section.

Members can view the public listing

Signed-in members can view the photograph, description, broad collection area and offered times. The full address is never shown on the public listing.

One click adds the member to the list

Pressing I’m interested adds the member to the public interested list. They can withdraw before selection if they change their mind, but showing interest does not guarantee the item.

The giver receives an alert

The giver receives an alert whenever a member shows interest. Private messages and the full address remain locked until one person is selected.

Let the system choose, or offer it manually

Automatic fair selection chooses one eligible member after the chosen interest time frame ends. The giver can instead choose an eligible member manually, or select someone randomly, at any time while the listing is open.

Remember: automatic selection happens after your chosen time frame, but manual selection is available at any time while the listing is open.

The selected member has 24 hours to book

The giver can see the selected recipient and a live 24-hour countdown. The member must open their invitation and choose an exact collection slot before the deadline.

The item appears under Items selected for you

The selected collector can book a collection time, open private messages or give up their place if they can no longer collect. Only the chosen member receives these options.

Choose an exact date and time

The collector chooses an exact time in 15-minute steps within the days and time windows offered by the giver. The booking must be completed before the 24-hour deadline.

The private address and appointment appear

After booking, the selected collector can see the private address, leave-out instructions and confirmed appointment. These details must not be copied, published or shared.

Messaging opens after a recipient is selected

Once a recipient has been selected, the giver and collector can use the private collection chat. The conversation is limited to those two members and includes the booked collection details.

Both members can confirm last-minute details

The chat can be used for genuine collection updates, such as saying that you are nearby or confirming that it is safe to call. Keep the conversation focused on the handover.

The giver marks the item as rehomed

After the item has been collected, the giver marks the handover as complete. The management page records the rehomed date and shows the selected member as completed.

The public listing shows that the item was collected

The listing is closed and clearly marked Successfully rehomed, so nobody else can register interest. The completed collection also unlocks the feedback option.

Rate the completed collection

The giver can rate the collector and add a short comment about the completed handover. Feedback should be honest, useful and based only on the verified collection.

Verified feedback appears on the member profile

Published feedback appears on the member’s public profile alongside their rating and collection history. This helps other members recognise reliable collectors in future giveaways.
