3,000 People Redefining Consumption: Waki's Impact in Madrid

1. The power of 3,000: Why does this number change the game in Spain?

Just a few months ago, Waki, the leading free donation and bartering app in Spain, was just a vision. Today, we are a community of 3,000 people in Madrid and Castilla-La Mancha who have said "no" to waste.

According to recent data, 20 million tons of urban waste are generated in Spain every year. A large part of this is furniture, clothing, and technology in perfect condition. By reaching 3,000 users, Waki has managed to prevent thousands of these objects from ending up in landfills, connecting those who have something they no longer use with those who really need it.

2. Much more than "Second Hand": The Waki difference

Unlike platforms like Wallapop or Milanuncios, where negotiating and haggling can be exhausting, in Waki the driving force is generosity.

• No money: Everything is 100% free.
• Frictionless: You upload a photo and in minutes a neighbor contacts you.
• Direct impact: You help young families furnish their children's rooms or migrants who arrive in our community with only what they are wearing.

3. How does the circular revolution work? (Step by step)

• Donate: Take a photo of that object taking up space.
• Connect: Chat safely with people in your area (Madrid, Toledo, Guadalajara...).
• Transform: Hand over the object and feel the satisfaction of helping.

4. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Is it safe to use Waki? Yes, we foster a community based on verified profiles and ratings among neighbors.

What can I donate? From furniture and appliances to baby clothes and books. If it works and is clean, it has a place on Waki.

Does it only work in Madrid? Currently, our main focus is Madrid and Castilla-La Mancha, where we already have 3,000 active users.

5. Conclusion

Reaching 3,000 users is just the beginning. Our goal for 2026 is that no one in Spain throws away something that still has life left. Thank you for being part of this movement that unites sustainability with solidarity.
