Buy Nothing Project
The buy nothing project promotes sharing anything within communities, with the one condition that everything must be completely free.
It's been the source of some controversy surrounding the aggressive enforcement of their trademark preceding the release of a (suggested) paid app. The side effect of community divisions enforcing socioeconomic boundaries was an unforeseen side effect as well.
However, this project and the many it inspired continue to bolster the sharing economy and reduce waste.

I love the sounds of this, but unfortunately it seems like the app is currently undergoing maintenance, and I want to avoid using Facebook
Is it? I was using the app just a couple days ago.
How do you find the app? I used to check my local group pretty often a while back. Unfortunately the app was unusable when I was cutting out most of Facebook, and I ended up dropping the community as a result.
