Items can be "thrown" into any of the site's four sections: U.S. Charity, International Charity, Business/Individual, and Up-For-Grabs. (Only charities and nonprofits registered with the site can "take" from the U.S. and International Charity sections.) Up-For-Grabs offers miscellaneous items and gadgets, as well as anything needing quick pick-up or disposal. The wide variety of "throws" and "takes" includes lighting and bathroom fixtures, craft paper, law books, appliances, computers, carpeting, monitors, peripherals, and telephones.
For a small monthly fee, businesses and individual subscribers are listed in the site's business directory and are able to take from the Business/Individual section. Registered charities and nonprofits are listed free of charge in a user-friendly directory, which allows members to find more information about the various groups.
