Phoenix counted 1,608,139 residents in the 2020 census, making it the fifth-most populous U.S. city and the most populous state capital. When Zelbi opens in Phoenix, one photo starts the listing, and the giver picks the day and time.
Skip the donation drop-off in Phoenix
The city's bulk trash pickup runs by appointment, with one pile per residence no bigger than ten cubic yards, out by 5:30 a.m. on the day booked. Each household gets four collections a year, and a cancellation made at least two business days ahead does not count against that total.
Zelbi takes a different route. Photograph the dresser, let Zelbi write the listing, and the giver picks the day and time the claimer collects it.
Free furniture pickup in Phoenix
Bulk trash won't take tires, glass or bricks, and it refers large refrigerant appliances such as refrigerators to a separate appliance recycling page. When Zelbi opens in Phoenix, you can give almost anything you no longer need to someone nearby, and items that aren't allowed are listed in the app's guidelines.
Phoenix averages 111 days a year with a high of at least 100 °F, and highs top 110 °F on average 21 days a year. The monsoon runs from June 15 to September 30, with flash floods and dust storms possible. On Zelbi, the giver sets the time an item goes outside, and the claimer confirms it in the app.
Free stuff near you in Phoenix
People in the Phoenix metro search for "craigslist free stuff" and "free things near me", each 1K-10K times a month. Zelbi's map shows a neighborhood area rather than an address, so a desk listed in Arcadia would show Arcadia, not the giver's door.
When Zelbi opens in Phoenix, a listing could come from Ahwatukee, the southernmost part of the city, where South Mountain separates it from the rest of Phoenix, or from Sunnyslope, a nine-square-mile area. Roosevelt Row sits in downtown Phoenix.
Items on Zelbi are free. The only charge is a $2 platform fee, paid by the person who claims an item; giving something away costs nothing.
A simpler alternative to Craigslist free, Freecycle, Buy Nothing and Trash Nothing
Phoenix already has large free-stuff groups, and one for the city and its surrounding areas counts tens of thousands of members. When Zelbi opens in Phoenix, a claimer can cancel for free until two hours before pickup, and a late cancellation costs the claimer $2.
Photo, then listing
Zelbi writes the description from the photo, so nobody types out a long listing.
Accounts behind claims
Each claim is tied to a Zelbi account and an authorized payment, and your exact address goes only to the claimer.
Pickup in the app
The app handles scheduling, which keeps back-and-forth messages to a minimum.
Zelbi is an independent app. It is not affiliated with Craigslist, The Freecycle Network, the Buy Nothing Project or Trash Nothing. Their names belong to their owners.

Phoenix grew about four percent a year on average for four decades, and Maricopa County went from 186,000 residents in 1940 to 1,509,000 by 1980. When Zelbi opens in Phoenix, photograph each piece before a move and let someone nearby claim it.
Arizona State University's housing page sets two firm deadlines. Students with an approved spring 2027 release must vacate by December 18, 2026, and students not fully checked out by January 3, 2027 are charged for spring 2027 housing. One photo can list a desk from a room you are leaving, and the giver picks the pickup time.
