Householders can get rid of goods for free on website

A NEW online service was launched yesterday to help people in the Dublin area pass on unwanted household goods — for free.

The Free Trade service, backed by the four Dublin local authorities, aims to encourage people to reuse items rather than throw them away.

More than 20 categories of household items are listed on the www.DublinWaste.ie website — including furniture, stereos, baby products, garden items and clothes.
