Press Release 220208/01: Virtual Dumpsters and Freecycle Members Work in Harmony
PR.COM : Freecycle members have given the thumbs up for the virtual dumpster website vDumpsters. The site is simplicity itself and you do not need to be a member of any group, complimenting and enhancing the ability to recycle and reuse other people's unwanted items or goods. The principle "everything is free" will help reduce landfill and reduce the temptation for some individuals to just dump items in the local neighborhood.
To further compliment this, Vyouz - the organisation behind the idea - will launch TrashCycle. TrashCycle is a fantastically simple concept which allows anyone to give away stuff they wouldn't normally upload to vDumpsters or Freecycle - everything from egg boxes, yogurt pots, milk bottle tops, bottles and aluminum cans. All these items can be reused by schools in their art classes, community groups or collectors who recycle for charity. TrashCycle not only helps the environment you live in by reducing your trash levels but it also helps the young and old in your local community. And of course, it's totally free. Let's get the community spirit back into giving !

Press Release 200208/01: Americans Love vDumpsters !
vDumpsters - the USA version of vSkips - has captured the imagination of recyclers all over the USA. From just a handful of members when it was launched in January, the new reuse site has attracted nearly 4000 members from all States in just a few weeks. There's still much to be done to get the word out, but initial indications are that vDumpsters is a big hit and set to grow in popularity. Members are already offering all kinds of unwanted items free for collection including clothes, furniture, computers, TVs, gardening equipment and even automobiles. Keeping stuff out of landfill has never been so easy or so much fun !
