New Reuse Site Offers Financial Rewards to Members

by Trey Granger

By combining features of Craigslist, eBay and Freecycle, the new Free’N Exchange program is providing reuse options for thousands of members to keep items out of landfills.

The program is part of Greenopolis, a new site developed by Waste Management. Here’s how the program works:

  • Both posting items and posting requests for items can earn members points
  • Points are used to acquire Greenopolis Badges (there are currently 10 available)
  • Badges equal coupons and items you can download from Greenopolis partners

The Greenopolis site also features games and forums designed to educate members on various environmental issues using social networking tools.

If you have items no longer eligible for reuse, you may be able to recycle them using Earth 911.
