BorrowMe was launched on Earth Day - April 22, 2009 in honor of our support for a greener alternative to buying new.

Check out our 'Do Just One Thing' campaign in support of small steps towards big changes.

Many of us have more idle possessions right now than we have spare cash. BorrowMe helps you to make money from the things you store. From storage baby gear to tools, recreational gear, luxury items and electronics - BorrowMe can help you put your stuff to work for you.

If you'd like to have access to your things when you need them - and avoid the steep loses from liquidating your possessions - consider Personal Renting. Turn your garage into a local virtual BorrowStore™, with one item, or one hundred - you can realize a new source of income that's been hiding in plain site.

To make money on BorrowMe - simply create a Stuff Listing with either a sale price or a rental rate, and assess each offer as they come in. You control the terms, deposit, rate and who your customers are. It may be new phenomenon - but so was selling used goods on the Internet just a few years ago.

Economic times have put pressures on all of us to be more carefully with our hard earned dollars. Finding ways to save while living well makes sense to just about everyone these days - and BorrowMe helps frugal consumers stretch their dollars like no other platform around.

On BorrowMe - finding items available for free - from friends, or neighbors is a certain way to save some money. By creating a Wish Listing - the people around you can see what you're in the market for, and how much you'd like to pay. Perhaps you'd like to borrow an item for the day or wait until someone gives up that skateboard as a free recycling gift. All you can do is ask, or look around your neighborhood. It's amazing what some people will toss out - and how generous those around us can be if they only knew our needs.

BorrowMe is a part of the Smart Consumption movement with a unique set of options for consumers to find and acquire the goods and services they need to live their lives.

BorrowMe is a free platform that supports a variety of greener, smarter consumption alternatives to buying new. It costs nothing to use BorrowMe to find free products and services in your local community, to share with your friends, or save money. Look for free recycling in your neighborhood

Through our operations and the programs of our foundation arm - borrowme.org, we are working to support grassroots initiatives from gift-in-kind donation programs for local charities to free recycling in local communities around the world.
