CD Modular Rack Units (Burnaston DE65) Expired 43d - There are 8 individual black plastic CD units that can be used individually or slotted together to make a TV-shaped rectangle or a tall set of shelving. Each unit holds a minimum of 9 CDs, though you can see 3 of the shelf racks inside each unit are for extra thick CD albums, so that would be a minimum of 12 single CDs per unit. Each unit has screw holes at the back. The units are undamaged though a little dusty.

Spear & Jackson Handsaws (Burnaston DE65) Gifted 49d - These two inherited handsaws are blunt. Unfortunately taking them for sharpening would cost more than buying new ones. However, if anyone has a saw sharpening arrangement they are sturdy, clean from rust and waiting for a good home.

Eden Easy Edging Handtool (Burnaston DE65) Gifted 55d - This has scarcely been used. It is intended for quick, manual trimming of lawn edges. The relative who bought it did not realise that it is for lawns that run up to paving or a hard edge not for lawns abutting flower borders. They did not have a hard surface or level pathway edging their lawn and so it has remained unused.

B&Q LawnCare (Burnaston DE65) Gifted 55d - 1 full bag and a bit extra of B&Q LawnCare. It advertises to feed, weed and moss kill a lawn treating 240 sqm. It has been in my mum's shed for an unknown length of time. I don't use chemicals in my garden but if offering this stops someone who does keep a perfect lawn from buying new I am happy to pass it on rather than take it to landfill.

Marine ply offcuts (Burnaston DE65) Expired 123d - Small areas of roof soffits to repair. It's the little boxed corners that are rotting, hence the need for offcuts if anyone has any?

Kenwood Toaster for Spares (Burnaston DE65) Expired 231d - Two long slots, 4 slice toaster with brushed stainless carcass. A filament on one of the four elements (an outer one) has snapped and trips the electricity at the circuit breaker. The toaster was dismantled to ascertain the problem and is all intact but a cable and an earth wire have been left disconnected as a sign it is not functional. Our search suggests there are no replacement elements. The toaster is therefore being offered for spares only.

Old cast iron or enamelled bathtub (Burnaston DE65) Received 327d - Any condition is acceptable for me to use in a garden project. Can collect.

Metal Wire Coat Hangers (Burnaston DE65) Expired 1y - Any condition, preferably not painted white, wire coat hangers needed. I cut these up to use for plant label pegs so it doesn’t matter if they're wonky.

National Panasonic Radio Cassette for parts (Burnaston DE65) Gifted 1y - Found while clearing out a relative's garage. It is extremely unlikely this works but an enthusiast might be able to use it or restore it.

Horse Manure (Organic) (Burnaston DE65) Received 1y - I have all the ingredients for an excellent compost pile, except manure. I'm looking for manure from horses that have had an organic diet, not fed on hay that has been treated for weeds, and horses that have not been dewormed for 3 months. Traces of weedkiller and dewormer kill the microbiology in my soil and lead to contaminated vegetables. I can collect and am happy to bag it myself. I would also be very pleased to find a regular supply, for which in the future I may have a glut of nutrient rich produce by way of a return favour!
