Who we are and what we stand for
Every year, tons of usable items end up in the trash. We show how to give furniture, clothing, and everyday objects a second life with simple means – and save money in the process.
„An old table becomes a new desk – with some sandpaper and paint.“
Our offer is aimed at environmentally conscious people in urban and rural areas who are looking for sustainable alternatives. From families to students to clubs – everyone can join in.
„We connect neighbors, swap meets, and repair cafés in your region.“
No empty promises, but concrete tips and real examples. We communicate on an equal footing and avoid exaggerated advertising language.
„Sustainability begins small – with one conscious decision per day.“
Honest voices from people who participate and make a difference.
Thanks to the exchange platform, I got rid of my old office chair and got an almost new children's bike in return. Uncomplicated and meaningful.
The upcycling workshops showed me how much potential there is in supposedly bulky waste. I built a raised bed from old pallets – it's been holding up for three years now.
At first I was skeptical whether second-hand clothing really looks good. By now I almost only buy used – the quality is often better than new items.
The monthly collection campaign for small electrical appliances is perfect. No more long searches for the nearest recycling center – just put them out front and have them picked up.
Answers to the most important topics around reuse and sustainable everyday life.
We accept well-preserved furniture, electrical appliances, clothing, books, and household items. Please only bring things you would still use yourself – we cannot accept broken or heavily soiled items. If you are unsure, our on-site team will be happy to help you.
No, registration is not necessary. You can simply come by during regular opening hours. If there is ever a large crowd, we ask for your patience – we do our best to serve everyone quickly and friendly.
Yes, that is possible. For larger quantities, we recommend informing us briefly by email so we can plan enough space and staff. This way you avoid waiting times and we can record your donations optimally.
Everything is inspected, cleaned, and sorted by condition. Well-preserved pieces go directly to our store or are passed on to social institutions. Defective electrical appliances are properly recycled. This way, no item ends up senselessly in the trash.
Of course. Our store is open to everyone – you don't have to donate anything to take something. Just browse the shelves and find used treasures at small prices. Every purchase supports our charitable work.
Experts who drive reuse forward every day.
Sabrina initiated the first drop-off day for used goods in Vienna eight years ago. With her background in circular economy, she now coordinates over 30 collection points and advises municipalities on setting up swap exchanges.
Wolfgang researches durable material cycles at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences. He develops practical assessment methods to measure the actual reuse impact of every donated item.
Josef organizes the collection and sorting of donations in Lower Austria. He designed a modular shelving system that can be set up in any municipality with minimal effort – from village halls to district centers.
