rince George, B.C. – The "Junk in the Trunk"sale  has  grown from it’s innaugural  appearance of a year ago.

Today’s event  had 50  praticipants,   more than double the 21  who   signed up for a stall to  sell their wares last year.

It’s an event the Regional District of Fraser Fort George hopes to expand "We are  putting today’s event on in conjunction with Earth Day" says Rachel Ryder, the Regional District’s  Waste Diversion Program Leader.  "We plan to have another event like this  this fall, that way  folks can clear up  before the  snow flies, and  follow it up with a similar spring cleaning event."

It’s all  about  making one person’s trash, another person’s treasure says Ryder, and it’s especially  helpful to those who  may not have a garage, or property to  hold a garage sale.
