The Honiton / East Devon Freecycle group
This is open to all who want to "recycle" that special something rather than throw it away. Whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano or an old door, feel free to post it. Or maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself! Nonprofit groups are also welcome to participate too!
One main rule: everything posted must be free. This group is part of The Freecycle
Network, a nonprofit organization interested in keeping good stuff out of landfills.

Rag and Bone
This site links together people who have large or bulky household items that they
no longer require, with others who can give them a new home. These items, which are still usable or
repairable, are given away free-of-charge; they simply need to be collected.
