Free: Wood (West Bridgford NG2) 5 X 7 wooden shed that has been smashed apart and probably not fit for reconstruction, just scrap wood. IMPORTANT: Not suitable for burning in a confined space as it has been treated. Starting at the end of November this will be disposed of bit by bit over the following weeks and months so there will be less of it as time passes.

Request: Amazon Firestick, Remote and Power Supply. (West Bridgford NG2) Our "Smart TV" has gone 'as dumb as a bag of hammers' so I am looking for an Amazon Fire Stick (not necessarily the voice activated version) to give the TV some extra life. I would be OK with collecting the three parts from seperate Freeglers if you only have the stick, remote control or the power supply. So, if anyone has upgraded, I would appreciate the 'old one'. Thank you for considering my request. Prof. M. Thank you.

Request: Computers (West Bridgford NG2) I am a retired Advanced Lecturer in electronics. I am currently looking for computers and laptops that I can refurbish and gift to people who are not in a position to buy. Suitable computers for donation were/are: Purchased during or after 2015. i.e. Windows 10 computers (that may or may not be Windows 11 compatible). Note: Microsoft's support for Windows 10 ends in October 2025. Laptop or desktop tower (including standard, mini and micro towers). I do not charge anything for my time or the computers so it helps if they are in working order. Many people remove the hard drive as a security measure though it is not always necessary. Microsoft gives advice and instructions on how to prepare your computer for donation. Just search for "How to Prepare Your PC For Sale or Donation" and select the Microsoft's Support Page. If you prefer, I can remove personal data (by securly shredding and formatting) before carrying out a total reinstallation of the Operating System (Windows) in accordance with Microsoft's instructions. If it is not possible to re-install Windows, I install the Linux Mint Operating System as that helps to make any personal data impossible to retreave. Demand far outstrips supply so I am grateful for donations. Thank you for your consideration.

Request: Windows 11 Non Compatible Computers (West Bridgford NG2) Expired I am a retired Advanced Lecturer in electronics. I am currently looking for computers and laptops that I can refurbish and gift to people who are not in a position to buy. I do not charge anything for my time or the computers so it helps if they are in working order and 10 years old or less. Many people remove the hard drive as a security measure though it is not always necessary. You can do a secure destruction of personal data using Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky etc. "File Shredder". Usually, right click on selected files and select "Shred using....". Be patient though as it can take a while to complete the process of deleting and over-writing the area on the drive many times over. I remove personal data (by securly shredding and formatting) before carrying out a total reinstallation of the Operating System (Windows) in accordance with Microsoft's recommendations described here: If it is not possible to re-install Windows, I install the Linux Mint Operating System as that helps to make any personal data impossible to retreave. Demand far outsrips supply so I am grateful for any p.c. donations. Thank you for your consideration. Prof. M.
