A website is pushing people to hand off everything from couches to computers for free. a

Freecycle.org is organized like Craigs list. People post whatever it is they are willing to hand off, and others can log on to search the site. The website has been around for years, and has sections for Champaign-Urbana, Danville, Decatur and Springfield. And word seems to be spreading. More people are logging on every day to find things they can take off other's hands for free!

"I've seen cars go through there, big screen TVs," says local website moderator Paul Grindley.  "Fertilizers, lawn and garden equipment, computers, lots of computers."

"It's immediately up to date so you can get in there pretty quick and find what you need or get rid of what you need," says Rich Schrock, whose wife has used the site. "So you reach a lot of people undoubtedly."

Over six million users are registered on the website. Organizers say that number is growing as people become more environmentally conscious.  And as more people join, more trash is kept out of the landfill. Organizers say it keeps 500,000 tons of trash out of landfills worldwide every day.
