Twin Cities Free Market
(Filed under: Culture)The Twin Cities Free Market is the place to score free goods. People list items they're wanting to get rid of and rather than dump them on the curb, other folks can come find what they need. It started in St. Paul seven years ago and has expanded to include the entire Twin Cities and surrounding counties. It's run by Eureka Recycling and has helped keep 4 million pounds of stuff out of the trash. Last year the site saw 11,000 exchanges.
The Star Trib covered the site the other day, focusing on a 1903 upright piano that was given away. (Fellow Twin Cities blogger Nick Ciske actually blogged about this site months ago, but that was before Twin Cities Liver was living.)
