How DontWaste Works
No sign-up. No approval. No middlemen. Pick your role below and follow the steps.
Fill in your donation details
Go to Post a Donation. Enter the item name, category (Food / Clothes / Books), quantity, pickup address, and your phone number. Add an expiry date for food items. Takes under 2 minutes — no account needed.
For cooked food, post it as soon as possible so receivers can collect before it expires.
Your listing goes live instantly
Your donation is immediately visible on the Browse page for everyone in Chennai. You will receive a unique Manage link — save it! You will need it to update or close your listing later.
Copy your Manage link from the success screen and save it in your notes.
A receiver contacts you on WhatsApp
When someone is interested, they fill in their name and phone number on the listing. WhatsApp opens on their end with a pre-filled message sent to YOU. You will receive a WhatsApp message with their details — reply to agree on a pickup time.
You never have to call a stranger first — they reach out to you.
Hand over the item
Meet the receiver at your agreed pickup location. Hand over the donation. That is it — you have done your part. The item finds a new home instead of going to waste.
Meet in a visible, public spot for safety. A shop entrance or building lobby works great.
Mark as Collected
After the handoff, open your Manage link (or go to My Donations → enter your phone number). Click Mark as Collected. This closes the listing and updates the live stats. Only you as the donor can do this step.
Mark it collected promptly so other receivers know it is gone.
