Daily Herald - Freecycling gaining popularity in Utah County

Nothing in life is free; you can’t get something for nothing; there’s no free lunch. A group of Utah County recyclers who swap goods online would beg to differ with those old clichés.

Freecycling — a concept that brings together Internet users on a message board where they post free offerings and requests for donated goods — is gaining popularity in Utah County.

“I think the people in Utah County are very frugal, and they like to get things that don’t cost them a lot of money, because Utah County isn’t really that rich of a place,” said Rose Johnson, co-owner of the Spanish Fork Freecycle site. “It’s just a lot of really nice people that like to help each other out.”
