Moving is often the perfect opportunity to sort through your belongings. Rather than transporting everything to your new home or throwing away what you no longer need, why not give your things away for free? With AlKaram, it is fast, simple and supportive.

Step 1: Sort room by room

Start sorting at least two weeks before your move. Go room by room: living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom. For each item, ask yourself: "Have I used it in the last 12 months?" If the answer is no, it is an ideal candidate for donation. Create three piles: keep, donate, discard. You will be surprised how many items in good condition deserve a second life rather than the landfill.

Step 2: Photograph your items quickly

No need for professional photos! With your smartphone, take 2 to 3 photos of each item to donate. Choose a well-lit spot, show the item from the front and side. For furniture, add a photo showing the dimensions. Speed is key when moving: don't spend more than 30 seconds per item. AlKaram lets you add photos directly from your gallery.

Step 3: Post your listings on AlKaram

Go to alkaram.app and create your listings one by one. Use clear and descriptive titles: "Washing machine in good condition", "Wooden bookshelf", "Complete dinnerware set". Mention in the description that you are moving and indicate the deadline for picking up the items. This motivates receivers to act fast. Don't forget to select your city and neighborhood to reach people near you.

Step 4: Organize the pickups

When moving, time is precious. Group pickups into one or two time slots to avoid back and forth. Inform receivers that items are to be collected at your doorstep at a specific time. You can also offer a "free house clearance" by posting multiple items at once and inviting people to come choose what interests them.

Most donated items when moving

Moves generate donations in all categories. The most common are furniture too bulky for the new home, household appliances (oven, microwave, vacuum cleaner), boxes of clothes, books and magazines, dishes and kitchen utensils, curtains and rugs, and children's toys. Everything can find a taker on AlKaram.

Move light, move with solidarity

By giving away your belongings before your move, you lighten your load, reduce transport costs and make a concrete gesture for your community. With AlKaram, free donation during a move becomes a natural reflex. Start sorting now and experience your move with peace of mind!
