I live in a yishuv in Israel and there is no central place for things that our found. Either people post on a whatsapp group, or e-mail group, or put up a sign.

I was thinking of having a single location for drop-off/pick-up of lost items, and then when someone finds something they could bring it to me. Once a week I could post what items have been found. I could also take in requests for lost items.

Not sure if this service would be helpful, or just adding more balagan. What do you ladies think?

I could see it being helpful. But check with a rav about potential halachic issues. Do you have enough room to hold on to every single thing lost in your yishuv forever?
