Depressed by the amount of plastic you can't avoid throwing away? Help is at hand at the Green House in the Square, Crediton. Here you will find a Plastic Fantastic collection box in which you can leave:

Writing equipment (felt tips, biros etc); baby food pouches; ink cartridges; beauty and personal care packaging; cleaning product tops; biscuit wrappers; used stamps.

And the chance to drop into the shop and pick up something lovely!
