Auburn's neighborhoods include Lea Hill, West Hill, Lakeland Hills and Bridges. Auburn annexed West Hill and Lea Hill from unincorporated King County in 2008. Wherever you call home, Zelbi turns a sofa you no longer want into one photo, and someone nearby can claim it.
Skip the donation drop-off in Auburn, WA
The City of Auburn says Waste Management is its contracted garbage hauler. Residential garbage customers can get one free bulky item collection a year for up to four items, booked by phone and scheduled in advance for their regular garbage day.
Another route is the Habitat store at 1407 Auburn Way South, which accepts clean donated items with no rips, stains or tears and offers donation pickups, scheduled by phone, with no fee.
Zelbi works differently. Snap the item and the app drafts its listing for you. When a claimer comes forward, you choose the day and time, then meet them or leave the item outside.

A simpler alternative to Craigslist free, Freecycle, Buy Nothing and Trash Nothing
Auburn already has free-stuff groups. A Facebook group for free gifting in Auburn counts thousands of members, and a buy, sell and trade group covering Auburn and nearby towns counts nearly thirty thousand.
