Federal Way sits in the southwest corner of King County, about 25 miles south of Seattle, on a plateau between Puget Sound and the Green River Valley. Northlake, East Redondo and Parkway were annexed into the city in 2004. Zelbi turns one photo into a listing that someone nearby can claim.
Skip the donation drop-off in Federal Way, WA
Waste Management handles garbage collection for Federal Way residents, and each residential garbage customer gets one free bulky item collection a year. It covers up to three bulky items plus up to 15 additional bags, and it must be scheduled in advance for your regular service day. The city's page names no donation or reuse options.
Zelbi works another way. You take one photo and it writes the listing, so nothing needs typing from you.

A simpler alternative to Craigslist free, Freecycle, Buy Nothing and Trash Nothing
A buy, sell and trade group for the area has thousands of members, and so does a Buy Nothing group covering Federal Way and Tacoma. Craigslist's Seattle area page has a south king section, though it doesn't name Federal Way. On Zelbi, cancelling stays free until two hours before the pickup, and a late cancellation costs the claimer, not you.
