DUDLEY Council is urging people to take a hi-tech approach to giving unwanted items a second lease of life.
The website Freecycle allows people to advertise items which may otherwise be dumped in landfill for other site users to collect.
The Dudley Freecycle group has more than 12,000 members, items recently offered include an extending table with four chairs, house bricks and a steel pedal bin.
