Free: Cedar Board Cut Offs - Kindling? (Elmhurst, First and N Highland) Gifted - 20x16 box of cedar cut offs. It's old and dry so it's probably best as bonfire kindling. At least that's what I would use it for but I have years of kindling stockpiled. Most of it is planed, but there are weathered boards in there and a handful of 2x4 chunks. Almost all of it has nail holes, but no nails. It has not been treated or sealed to my knowledge and certainly not in the 10 years that I owned the fence that this came from.

Free: Cedar Shavings (Elmhurst, First and N Highland) Gifted - I'm not certain if this will be valuable to anyone, but I thought I'd ask. I'm in the process of building a shed from my old cedar fence. I've run hundreds of boards through my planer and have over 100 gallons of cedar shavings. The fence was over 10 years old and very gray from weathering. The shavings look pretty clean but I'm sure there is mold and mildew in there. Mulch? If interested, please give me a date and time for pickup. I can set it out for you. Looks like I'll have at least four yard waste bags full. Please take a minimum of one bag. Thanks

Request: Barrel (Elmhurst, First and N Highland) Received - Do you happen to have an old plastic or fiber/cardboard barrel that you are not using? I would love to take it off your hands. I am making receptacles for sawdust collection in my garage. I'll just be using 8 to 12 in inches off both ends so didn't want to buy a new barrel and waste new material. I will recycle anything remaining from a barrel you give me. Thanks for considering! Jeremy Free: Little Tikes Slide and Swing Set (Elmhurst, First and N Highland) Gifted - This set served us well but it is getting a bit small for my boys. The set is clean (only used indoors) and is in good shape. We originally got it from my brother-in-law and it has what looks like a questionable fix on one of the joints. I had planned to improve it but the fix has held up just fine. Dimensions -4' 4" long x 3' 7" tall. The largest width is from the yellow climbing ramp to the end of the Red Slide, 4' 4". If you would like to set, please message me with a date and time you can pick it up. Preference will be given to anyone who can pick it up this weekend.

Request: Floor Epoxy Remnants (Elmhurst, First and N Highland) Expired - Do you have any old floor or other epoxy sitting around that you aren't using? I'm experimenting with using epoxy in my woodworking and wanted to practice before I spend a lot of money on new epoxy. Probably a couple cups of epoxy and hardener would be sufficient. If you have more, terrific. Thanks! Free: Lily of the Valley Flowers (Elmhurst, First and N Highland) Expired - Hello. I have a lot of lovely and great smelling Lily of the Valley flowers in my yard. Unfortunately for me, I found out they are poisonous and I have a curious little one. If anyone is interested, I can dig them out for you in about 10 days. Please just do your research before you accept so you know the risks.
