Our planet is undergoing severe climatic changes due to human activities. Our carbon footprint increases from year to year and we are reaching unprecedented values. What scientists said in the past was going to happen in the future is happening now, but with the help of technologies and what they offer us, we can change that paradigm. Mobile devices, in particular smartphones, have achieved enormous popularity over the past few years due to their great versatility and multifunctionality, thus conquering, meritoriously, a prominent place in our daily lives, both personally and professionally. In this context, the realization of this proposal consists in the development of a useful application, with practical and functional objectives, which facilitates communication and interaction between two people who want to undo and receive used items for free. However, there is still a major obstacle in the mobile applications market and this proposal will address an important aspect, that is, a gap in the models developed so far, since there is no really attractive way that combines the essential and practical features for property owners to donate them to strangers in a safe and comprehensive manner. The main objective was to develop an application to facilitate communication and interaction between two or more people who want to dispose of unusable articles.
