How to Give Away Deposit (Pant)

Step 1: Visit the Give Page

Go to pantdela.se/ge or click the green "Give Away" button on the homepage.

Step 2: Share Your Location

Allow PantDela to use your location. Your exact position is never stored — we add a random offset so collectors see an approximate area rather than your exact address.

Step 3: Choose Your Quantity

Tell us how much deposit you have:

🥫 A little (1–10 items)
🛍️ Medium (11–30 items)
📦 A lot (31+ items)

Step 4: Enter Your Phone Number

Your number is shown to collectors so they can reach you via SMS. It's automatically deleted after 48 hours.

Step 5: Publish!

Hit "Post my deposit" and you're done. Your listing appears immediately on the map for nearby collectors.

Pro Tips for Givers

Add a description like "Left outside the door" or "Call first"
Save the removal link sent after posting — use it when the deposit has been picked up
If you have regular deposits, check back weekly to post again

How to Collect Deposit (Pant)

Step 1: Visit the Collect Page
