Website saves throwing out items
Getting rid of old household items can be a problem but a website offers a way to recycle products instead of throwing them out.

Donnons.org has so far stopped more than two million items being junked as someone has taken them for their own use.
Covering a vast host of product ranges, from animal goods to sports gear and clothing, it advertises items available for pick-up and people’s requests and has localised adverts for the whole country.
