Offers  and  Requests
Request: Small mobile for pay as you go (The Camp AL1) - I have tried to get a new battery in vain so far. I think the sim is the largest size. I will cycle over weather permitting. Please let me have your number for quick arrangements. The phone is for emergency like losing the smartphone Thanks. Request: Old style Samsung battery (The Camp AL1) - I don't use ebay etc and I don't know how to post pictures but I can't get a replacement battery for my old emergency phone which folds over and is very small. If you have something that works and may be usable when charged, I could cycle over locally and see if it fits the phone. Local phone shops can't help. Needed when I have to call my main smartphone if mislaid. Please provide a number for quick contact Thanks. Request: Telescopic roof rake (The Camp AL1) Expired - Leaves gather on the roof of my ground floor property and I cannot easily get on the roof to stop leaks caused by these. I can't find anywhere to buy one locally without online purchase. I think 18 foot long is the kind of thing. Free: Wooden kitchen furniture item (The Camp AL1) Expired - Big. Looks reasonable but neighbour was moving out and couldn't take everything so has left outside with recycling bins. Sorry I don't do photos.Th Preference is for anyone local and best to give me a phone number as I can't get online much at the moment. There may be a bit of damp on the back Free: George Foreman grill (The Camp AL1) Expired - Neighbours offered to me but I don't need it. Needs external slight clean up. Preference is to those who live local so I can deliver by bike. I only get online occasionally so give me a phone number if you don't mind but will respond otherwise Request: Honor X6 phone cover (The Camp AL1) Expired - Just got this phone which is not great but the old one wasn’t working. It's a different size so I need a cover please. Will cycle to collect locally. If you are happy to give me a number it may be easier. Thank you. BTW I may have trouble seeing freegle on the new phone but have asked volunteers for advice. Free: Mains smoke alarm (The Camp AL1) Expired - No plug. Needs to be installed professionally. Past its use by date of 2021. Taken from another freegler because I misunderstood what I was getting. No instructions but Kidde do some online although they may be slightly out of date. I may be able to deliver locally by bike if not too far Free: Bike tyres (The Camp AL1) Expired - There seem to be different opinions about these. They are damaged on the sidewall, but there's some tread left. Some people who mend bikes say that they are usable. Others say that you can have a blow out. Some say that you can repair. Others don't agree. I don't want to use for myself and will throw away if no response. Free: Undercounter fridge (The Camp AL1) Expired - Freestanding with icebox but not adequate for normal use as it's not cold enough at least the fridge part. Needs cleaning. Would be paying delivery company to dispose when I get new one. Has been a spare only. Gauging interest before buying new one. You would have to collect and I would prefer your number to let you know when convenient. Request: Mains smoke alarm (The Camp AL1) Expired - The 2 battery ones that I have had both gave false alarms. I don't know how else to get a plug in one. Will cycle to collect locally. Please no more advice about the fire brigade. I'm not posting to save money. Thanks Free: Lot of bubble wrap (The Camp AL1) Gifted - I have a bag of used bubble wrap and some padded envelopes. Preused. Various sizes. Willing to split. May be able to deliver locally by bike. Let me know how much you can use and can I leave by your door. I usually only see messages early evening or next day. Free: Ring binders (The Camp AL1) Expired - Various mostly 4 rings all need dusting but I may be able to drop off locally by bike Free: Old audio equipment (The Camp AL1) Expired - Various. Sorry , I already posted but realised that on my phone the offer hides the key word or most of it. Hope to find the guy in Redbourn who repairs these if he can pick up next time he drives this way. Free: Collection of old audio equipment (The Camp AL1) Expired - Various types etc many not working at all. Dusty through neglect. I am unable to find old posts where I was taking some similar stuff to Redbourn last year as I know the guy offers to try to repair. I am not expecting these back but I only have a bike and it's too much to carry. I would like to keep these out of landfill but some are too far gone and others only partly work for example tuner on radio stuck. If Mr repair man drives to St Albans, we can arrange collection. Request: Mountain bike tubes (The Camp AL1) Expired - 26 x 2 approx. I have punctures that I can't repair with my lack of skills and would offer but past offers have had no response. I would take well repaired tubes for the front wheel as I have only one new tube. Will collect by cycling locally. Thanks Request: Herts Ad (The Camp AL1) Expired - A fellow freegler has supplied these to me for ages since they have not been delivered in my area. Now they don't get it either. I have seen this week's but not the three or four before and would like to set up collection weekly when you have finished with it please. Prefer local as I will cycle to collect. I know that the papers are available in some supermarkets but I am shielding so avoiding going anywhere indoors. Thanks Doug Request: Bike tyre 28 x 1.5 x 1 5/8 (The Camp AL1) Expired - For spare bike that I was given on freegle last year but although I have been given a tube I could do with a tyre as mine are worn. Will collect by bike locally. Request: Bike tubes (The Camp AL1) Expired - 26 inch mainly. I have posted for 28 in tubes or tyres for my spare bicycle but have had no success. I now need 26 X 2 inch tubes approx following repeated punctures on main bike. Because I am vulnerable to covid I am not feeling safe to go to a shop and the local community bike shop has told me that it is closed. I can cycle over to collect barring another puncture.
Request: Eco light bulbs (The Camp AL1) Expired - I have seen posts for these but thought I had plenty. I don't seem to have more than one or two now. Will cycle to collect locally. Thanks Doug Request: 28" bike tyre &/or tube (The Camp AL1) Expired - A freegler kindly let me have a bike with a larger than average wheel size. It would be good to have a spare tyre and or tube even if pre used in case of puncture. 28 x 1 and 5/8 x 1 and a half . Will collect within reasonable distance say 5 miles . Apologies for frequency of repost but I keep getting an e-mail asking me to withdraw or repost. Thanks for reading Request: Angle grinder or similar (The Camp AL1) Received - My bike is locked with a cable lock. I have been unable to unlock it even with the spare key or oil on the lock. If anyone suspects me of crime I can produce the key that fits but doesn't work any more. I will have to use my spare bike to collect. Its tyres are not in great condition! :( I will collect within a few miles. I could return the tool after use. Thanks for reading Free: Street maps (The Camp AL1) Expired - Not perfect but usable books of maps of Leicestershire / Rutland; Newcastle / Durham / Sunderland; and Devon. Happy to deliver by bike locally. Prefer not to give to someone who will drive to St Albans to collect. Ecological and safety reasons. Free: Empty CD cases (The Camp AL1) Expired - Most are clear some have black plastic; and some are for double or treble CD packs. Condition not guaranteed but I have tried to take out any with cracks. Some may need wiping over. I am willing to deliver locally by bike within St Albans. Say how many you want. Need to get rid ASAP after Wednesday but preferably this week. Taking up space. Sorry no photos but not needed anyway in my opinion. Free: Old maps and atlases (The Camp AL1) Gifted - I am having a big clear out of stuff that’s up to 22 years old since a freegler took the older ones. The best ones will go to Oxfam and the very worst were recycled if for example the pages were stuck together. I am freegling the ones in between. Mostly tatty externally or on a few pages. Street map of Leicestershire. Ordnance Survey map of London North area. Also a big 2011 road map of Europe but not very easy to follow as scale is smaller. Sorry I don't do photos too high tech. Please let me know what you need and I will let you know if I have it. I am willing to deliver by bike locally. I don't want people driving here to collect or view. If you give me a phone number in your reply it may be easier. Give me a time that works as I don't want to call people who are driving even with hands free as it distracts. You can have one or more or all Request: Manual alarm clock (The Camp AL1) Expired - I have one but the alarm part has stopped working . Batteries are something that I avoid. Will collect by cycling to you up to 5 miles each way. Apologies for repeated post but we are asked to repost or withdraw when I would rather leave it. Free: Blank audio cassettes (The Camp AL1) Expired - About 3 small boxes full. The vast majority have been erased from home tapings and most may have some written details on the tape. They are of various ages and conditions. A small number have poor audio quality and that's the reason for disposal but you don't have to take those or indeed any . Say how many you want and give an address and I may be able to deliver locally. If you want them all it may take 2 or 3 journeys on my bike. I don't want people making special trip to my place by car. I am hard to locate anyway! Thanks for reading Request: Working cd player (The Camp AL1) Expired - My cd player seems to have stopped working and I am freegling the spare one as it seems not to work either. I don't need anything big and if it has other functions that don't work it doesn't matter. I can collect locally by bike. It needs to be mains operated. Thanks Doug Free: Music Centre in bad condition (The Camp AL1) Expired - Sorry I don't do photos but this has been gathering dust and I am not good at cleaning it. It's roughly a cubic foot and too heavy and bulky to carry by bike in a rucksack. I will give preference to someone who lives in walking distance or drives along London road anyway as I don't want extra cars on the road. The lights come on but I can't make the cd player work. Or the radio despite being lit up. There are 2 cassette players but one is broken visibly and the other needs someone to remove the dust. There is no record player element so I am not sure whether music centre is the right description. It's been sitting around for years unused. Free: Pre used toothbrushes for DIY (The Camp AL1) Expired - Quite a few various plastic ones and I can deliver locally. Someone took my collection last time I offered but I don't know who. Request: Adult bike for spare (The Camp AL1) Received - I had 3 in various states of disrepair but not able to ride so gone to landfill as no takers on freegle . So I could do with another in working condition for when my bike is broken down as I have no other way of getting round. If 26" I can replace the tyres and front wheel if necessary . I would buy from recycling centre for £20 but I don't know enough to be sure it's any good.
