Free: Dishwasher, Kenmore Ultra Wash (Richmond) 12h - Still washed dishes, but did not dry them well so needs some repair, otherwise in good condition Model 665.1511. Expect only repair needed is new heater element for drying dishes. Pumps and motors as well as electronics still work. I can also deliver to San Francisco/Daly City location. Will consider other locations in East Bay as well, but prefer pick up at my Richmond home which is easily accessible from I-80.

Request: Scale up to 10 lb capacity (Richmond) 13d - Would like to find out if our less than 10# dog is losing weight. Hopefully, she is not, but eating habits have not been consistent. Since I am seeking this, I will go pretty much anywhere to get it and that is why I am posting in locations that I frequent as well as where I live. Request: Whole Foods 365 Dressing Bottles (Richmond) Expired 118d - Looking for up to a dozen, one or more at a time, Whole Foods 12oz organic dressing bottles (see photos). I have found them to be the best current bottle for a drink I make for myself out of dried cranberries, grated fresh ginger and boiled water. Each bottle makes about 6 oz of drink and I often add boiling water to make more drink or just eat the cranberries and ginger. I have two bottles now, but I would like some more plus spares should any get broken and they become no longer available. I will go pretty much anywhere to get them since they seem to be very hide to find. The shelf picture, shows a number of currently available organic dressings in these bottles at the Whole Foods on Gilman Street. The other photo is a bottle of the drink I make in one of the two bottles I have. Sadly, they no longer sell that delicious flavor of dressing.

Free: Heavy Duty Wire Basket (Richmond) Expired 222d - 22L X 20W taper to 19W at bottom 6 1/2D plastic coated steel wire basket from Bosch dishwasher - I was going to use it to hold tools while working 30+ feet up in a tree, but it is too big and too good to just Blue Can it - Richmond off McBryde Ave near I-80 and also could be in SF Outer Sunset District.,

Request: Baby Scale up to 10# capacity (Richmond) Expired 231d - Would like to find out if our less than 10# dog is losing weight. Hopefully, she is not, but eating habits have not been consistent. Free: Trying to stop smoking using On (Richmond) Expired 302d - I have six (6) apparently intact plastic boxes containing 20 niccotine pouches each of the 8mg size which are in need of a home where they will help someone stop smoking. Each was found in my immediate Richmond neighborhood near the sidewalk while I was walking my small dog. My Mom died from her smoking caused COPD and I have never smoked since I got a lot of her second hand smoke in our house. Free: Cool White Thin Fluorescent Tube (Richmond) Expired 1y - 36 inch long, tube is less than one inch in diameter, quite old, but probably as good as new. If you have a way to test it in a fixture and it works, you have a new light bulb.

Free: Small 3-Drawer All Wood Cabinets (9th St and Heinz Ave, Berkeley) Expired 1y - Next to 9th Street Bike and Walkway opposite Berkeley Bowl West parking lot - solid wood, including drawers - need a little tender loving care, but definitely could be nice when refinished. All it needs is drawer handles and refinishing to be good as new. It was there Friday night 11 November. This is currently between Bike and Walkway and the fence to the parking lot for Outdoor Supply Hardware. I check this location weekly, but do not live nearby.

Free: Vintage O'Keefe & Merritt Gas Stove (Oakland - Rockridge) Gifted 1y - This is a 50s era O'Keefe & Merritt, with Grillevator, that Ellen is replacing with a modern stove. The O&M still works although the broiler pilot light will not stay lit and the oven door springs need replacing. - Otherwise, this stove has worked well for me for years. - this is being posted for Ellen who posted this to Nextdoor - the stove will be removed from Ellen's home on 28 October. Seems a real shame that such a classic may be trashed.

Request: Old GE or similar Electric Range (Richmond near I-80 and McBryde) Expired 1y - If someone is getting rid of an old electric range, I am looking for the 3 or 4 position switch to control the oven. I would prefer not to trash our old electric range since it fits the kitchen (40 inches wide) and worked well until this switch stopped working properly. GE stopped manufacturing or carrying switch or even any information about it. The original switch was Off, Bake, Time Bake, Broiler, but all I need is Off, Bake, Broiler since timer has not worked for decades. Parts houses have thus far been useless. The old time knowledge of what things do has been replaced with "we don't carry that any more", so no one has suggested that something else might work. All it needs to do is fit in our range and control 220V high amperage power and be three position switch. I might even be able to repair existing switch if anyone knows how to reassemble a switch of this type. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Free: Dissasembled Electric Toothbrush (Richmond near I-80 and McBryde) Expired 1y - Motor, etc. still work, battery died and you can not replace battery and we had to disassemble to remove battery. Will post photos if anyone interested in this small DC motor and integrated circuitry.
