Have you ever looked around your home and felt overwhelmed by items you no longer use, but are too good to just discard? Whether you're navigating a move, finally tackling that decluttering project, or hunting for unique finds on a budget, we’ve found a brilliant local solution that ticks all the boxes.

Filling the Gap in Hong Kong’s Second-Hand Scene
Don’t Throw Me (DTM) is a community-centric marketplace that’s changing the way second-hand goods are handled in Hong Kong. As more Hong Kong people embrace sustainable shopping, the options can sometimes feel limited and underwhelming. Many shops focus solely on fashion and accessories, leaving a gap for other categories.

DTM fills this gap by serving as a one-stop shop for all your second-hand needs, connecting households across the city through an impressively wide range of categories from fashion and accessories to books, furniture, toys, and so much more. Their platform is designed with the community in mind, balancing practicality, affordability and time, with a touch of creativity. Forget juggling multiple Facebook groups or WhatsApp chats and navigating the uncertainty of unvetted sellers. DTM brings order, trust, and variety under one digital roof.
Effortless User Experience
DTM’s platform is refreshingly effortless. Finding that specific bookshelf or a barely-used designer bag is a breeze with easy search and filter functions. And if you’re selling? Listing an item is just as simple. All you need to do is snap a photo, write a brief description, and set your price. The mobile-friendly design means you can manage your listings or browse for treasures from anywhere, whether you’re at home, in the office, or on your daily commute.
A Foundation of Safety and Privacy
With DTM, you can engage in transactions confidently, knowing your information is secure. All payments are securely processed through Stripe, meaning your financial information is encrypted and protected. Sellers benefit from quick, automated payouts directly to their bank accounts, and their secure in-platform messaging system eliminates the need to share personal contact information.
Trust at the Heart of the Community
Trust is the cornerstone of DTM’s community. A key feature on their platform is their transparent ratings system, which allows buyers and sellers to evaluate each other based on their experiences. This system of accountability fosters a trustworthy trading environment, allowing you to transact with complete peace of mind.
More than a Marketplace: Social Impact with Every Swap
Many of us already give away household items for free, naturally contributing to a circular economy in Hong Kong. An addition that DTM offers is to go one step further: the ability to turn your clutter into charitable donations. Here’s how: you can swap your items for DTM credits and choose to donate those credits to support their local charity partners.
Imagine if every little trade included a small act of giving? The collective impact our community could make is enormous. It’s a beautiful cycle: you clear your space, your pre-loved item finds a new home with someone who truly needs it, and a local charity benefits. That is the magic of the Don’t Throw Me Marketplace.

Don’t Throw Me is more than a marketplace; it’s a movement towards mindful consumption and community support. They’re making second-hand shopping not just easy, but the smart and heartfelt first choice.
