Yahoo Launches Free Stuff Exchange

"Free is Good" is the slogan of Yahoo's Reuse Groups, launched just in time for Earth Day. Born of the Yahoo Green portal, the new program taps the power of Yahoo Groups to create a mostly volunteer-run exchange of used products.

Instead of throwing out things like furniture, books, dishes, bikes, electronics, and other domestic goods, Yahoo urges all web users to join a local reuse group and give these items away for free to other people in their community. The Internet search giant says that its reuse network has already grown to over 5,000 groups worldwide, ranging from smaller 500-member web clusters to massive super-groups with over 12,000 affiliates.

The membership is free and requires nothing more than a Yahoo ID with an email box. To learn more, join, or find a Yahoo Reuse Group near you, go here.
