The City of Flin Flon is encouraging residents to share things they don’t want with others instead of hauling them to the landfill.  Councilor Colleen McKee explains they are encouraging people to put them on their front lawn and clearly indicate the item is for taking with a small sign that says free or whatever they want to put on it.  She adds one thing to note is the city will not be picking up the items after.  McKee says the program will run from 9 Friday morning until Sunday at midnight and they are expecting people to remove items after that time period.

              The idea came about after the city decided not to do its usual spring clean up campaign as a cost cutting measure.
