Now is the time to dig out old, unused items, with the launch of Islington Council’s new swapxchange website, www.islington.gov.uk/swapxchange<br><br>The website is a free tool available to people in the borough to swap, exchange, find or giveaway goods or services that are no longer needed, but could be of use to someone else. <br><br>As well as finding items, users can also exchange ideas, information and services (such as swapping an item no longer needed for some help in the garden). <br><br>Councillor Bridget Fox, Executive member for sustainability said: “It's a bit like Friends Reunited - but instead of people you can look for useful stuff like a pram, a table or a bike.<br><br>The site is one of the council’s innovative schemes to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. It costs nothing - so go ahead and give it a go. After all one person’s trash is another person’s treasure!”<br><br>Simply log on to www.islington.gov.uk/swapxchange and place your ad or see if there is anything that catches your eye!<br><br>ENDS<br><br>Notes for editor:<br>Categories for advertisements:<br>· Bikes/cars<br>· Childrens<br>· DIY<br>· Electrical<br>· Furniture<br>· Garden/outdoor<br>· Leisure/hobbies<br>· Miscellaneous<br>· Clothing<br>· Office/business<br><br>Visit www.islington.gov.uk/swapxchange for legal disclaimer.
