Derry people get freecycling
Derry people are using a new internet site to get rid of their unwanted items and pass them on to others for free.
Foyle freecycle, part of the yahoo.com group is open to people in the North West including Strabane, Derry, Limavady and Dungiven.
Already the site has been hugely successful with local people swapping everything from used carpets, bedroom furniture, freezers and even wood to burn in fireplaces.
Last week someone picked up a cross trainer for free, while other popular advertisements are books and buggies.
The group is open to anyone who wants to "recycle" that special something rather than throw it away.
Whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano or an old door, you can post it on the site. You can also make you own request to acquire something.
The only condition on items is that they must be posted for free.
The group is part of the Freecycle Network, a nonprofit organization and a movement of people interested in keeping good stuff out of landfills.
You can check out the website at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/foylefreecycle
