Free stuff in Chicago

Neighbors in Chicago, Illinois give away furniture, appliances, tools, moving boxes and more — all for $0. It's the fastest way to furnish a place on a budget, and the easiest way to clear out your home without paying for haul-away.

Good freebies go fast: message first to confirm it's still available, arrange same-day pickup, and bring a helper (and a truck) for big items. If a listing says "on the curb", it's first come, first served. Check condition in person — for upholstery and mattresses, make sure they're clean and pest-free before loading up.
