Why throw it away if you can sell it?

Do you remember our article on waste reduction? We talked about this issue during the European Week for Waste Reduction. If you have read it, you surely know that apart from the correct differentiation and recycling, to solve this problem we have to commit to reducing the amount of waste at source!

In this sense, re-use plays a fundamental role.

One of the most effective ways to systematically reduce the amount of waste is to repair objects and appliances, rather than throw them away to buy new ones!

Another possibility is to give them away or better yet to sell them. Why throw something we no longer use when it might be useful to someone else?!

Our friends of Bakeca.it have been wondering the same thing. Bakeca is one of the most famous and used ad platforms in Italy! And this is where our collaboration on waste reduction and sustainability issues is born! Instead of throwing away what you no longer use, you can put it on sale on Bakeca and receive a $10 credit for your ads.

But how does it work?!

Let’s get some clarity.

Bakeca.it is a digital platform that has been facilitating the meeting between supply and demand of goods, services, job advertisements and much more since 2005.

We are not talking about one of the many, but one of the most famous and used in Italy, a real excellence. They have an average of 12 million visitors per month!

The good thing is that publishing ads is very simple and free!

Just click on the "Insert Ad" button on the top right and follow the steps indicated.

What kind of ads can I publish?

The categories from which you can choose are many and range from houses, job offers, the purchase-sale of objects, up to news on events, associations and neighborhood offers!

The platform is structured by categories and cities, which ensures that ads are always effective and relevant.

Are there special requirements for publishing an ad?

No, anyone can, as long as they follow the rules of publication. The platform gives you the option to register for free, however even unregistered users can post ads.

Reliability is one of the absolute priorities of the platform, which in this regard has provided a Quality Office that takes care of checking all the advertisements published.

At this point, you’re probably wondering why the credits we talked about earlier can be useful if ad publishing is free!

In order to clarify this, it is appropriate to explain very simply the functioning of the platform. Newly published ads rank at the top but climb down as others are published. To be clear, it’s a bit like in the home of social media: to make it pleasant and up to date, the latest posts take the place of older ones.

The solution is to buy the promotion "TopList" and bring them back to the top.

Don’t worry, it’s easier than explaining it! In addition, thanks to our collaboration with Bakeca.it you can try using 10€ of credits (register HERE). You have nothing to lose... indeed! You can earn from selling items you no longer use, actively contributing to waste reduction!

Speaking of sustainability, did you know that Bakeca.it also collaborates with Treedom?! Their forest continues to grow, absorbing CO2 and improving the quality of the air that we all breathe!

But their contribution to the environment does not end there.

This year they signed a strategic partnership with Mimoto, with the aim of raising awareness of the adoption of sustainable consumption and mobility models.

How does their cooperation work?

Bakeca offered free credits to Mimoto users, encouraging them to use ads to generate value from disused objects. For its part, Mimoto gave 30 minutes of free use of its sustainable vehicles (e-bikes, scooters and electric scooters) to all users who registered via Bakeca.it

The advantages of such an agreement are obvious and concern everyone: users, companies and the environment. Users have the opportunity to try a new service for free, companies gain in terms of visibility and reputation and the environment gains in terms of reducing pollutant emissions and waste! Brilliant to say the least, don’t you think?

That’s why we decided to talk to you today. As you well know, every time there is an opportunity to share a virtuous model like this, we are delighted to do so!

At this point the question arises: have you already thought about your first ad on Bakeca.it?

Why throw away what you don’t use when you can sell it?!
