January's Clean Bin Challenge is complete. Winners will be announced soon!

In January 2011, 8 families embarked on a Clean Bin Challenge, competing to produce the least amount of waste for their household in a month.

The group had their bins on display this past weekend at the Sustainable Building and Living Conference, but you will have another chance to see how they did at the Spirit of Kimberley Showcase on February 10.

What is Freecycle?

Freecycle combines free with Recycling. It works on the principle that one person's trash is another person's treasure. By becoming part of your local freecycle group you can either post things you'd like to get rid of or send messages looking for stuff. The only caveat is it has to be entirely free - no bartering, trading or other compensation can be given. You only get good karma and the knowledge that you've kept things out of the landfill that someone else can still use.
