Every Swap Is a Nugget of Good

When you buy, sell, swap, or give away an item locally on Maine Nugs, you're making a measurable difference. Each listing is connected to the UN Sustainable Development Goals — no politics, just neighbors helping neighbors and the planet.

A little bit goes a long way. From stretching household budgets (SDG 1) to keeping stuff out of landfills (SDG 12) to tangible climate action (SDG 13) — your everyday trades add up.

Why it matters →

How It Works

Three simple steps. No fees, no middlemen. Just neighbors.

1

List It

Post your item in 30 words or fewer — classic Maine style. Or go modern with photos and details. Always free.

2

Connect

Your neighbors in Maine see your listing. Contact each other by email, phone, or message. Meet up locally.

3

Sustain

Every exchange keeps items out of the landfill and supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Track your impact.

Need Help with Pickup?

We’ve got neighbors for that. Maine Nugs connects community volunteer drivers with anyone who needs help getting items picked up or delivered — especially our elderly, disabled, and veteran community members.

Mark any listing as “needs pickup help” and a local volunteer will reach out.

Don't Dump It — Recycle It Right

Your old batteries, electronics, and solar panels aren't trash — they're resources. Maine's “dump” services treat everything like garbage, but we're routing those items to eco-friendly recycling centers instead.

Lithium batteries are causing fires at Maine transfer stations. Solar panels contain recoverable silver and copper. Rare earth elements are worth billions. Let's stop burying them.
