JusTake: Get Free Stuff Before it Hits the Landfill

2014

JusTake is a mobile application that serves to help counter the disposable mindset of many consumers. Rather than throwing away an unwanted good, one can utilize JusTake and offer it to others instead of a landfill. The user simply needs to take a picture of the item, choose the category it falls under, and add a description explaining how someone can get the item (side of the road, on porch, knock on door etc.). People looking for free stuff can use the application to view free items available near them. The key here is simplicity: a “trasher” just needs to post an item, and a “picker” can swing by and just take it!
