Free: Large towels (Eccleshill BD2) Expired 23d - These are mainly pink in colour, bath towels, beach towels, which have been quite well used, but are still in fairly good condition. Does anyone have a use for them, or am I better taking them to a charity shop or textile bank? Collection only, and please include a contact number in your reply. Thanks for reading. Free: White lab coat (Eccleshill BD2) Gifted 27d - Probably size 14/16. Polycotton lab coat. Has some marks on. Might be useful for someone when painting, or doing other messy activities? Collection only. Please include a contact number in your reply. Thanks for reading.

Free: Old style kids blackboard (Eccleshill BD2) Gifted 33d - Double sided, chalks on one side, use as an easel for paper on the other side. Box of chalks to go with it. Anyone interested? Collection only please. Contact details would be.

Free: Bag of coloured tinsel (Eccleshill BD2) Expired 33d - Various lengths of coloured tinsel, Christmas decoration stuff. No longer needed. Possibly of interest to a crafter, or playgroup/nursery? Collection only. Contact details would be appreciated.

Free: Slide projector with screen (Eccleshill BD2) Gifted 33d - This is a very old machine, which hasn't been used for years, but there may be someone interested in taking it to play around with? The machine is a Prinz Consort, and I have seen similar on FB, so it's likely to be of interest to someone. The screen is a Lumenta Cristall - again it's not been out of the box for many years, but we used (as most families who took up photography using slides) to have family slide shows fairly regularly in days gone by, so there are memories. If you think you're interested, or know of someone/somewhere that might be, then please get in touch with your details. It's a very heavy machine, so it's collection only. NB. The plug appears to be a VERY old round three-pin, so you would need some kind of adapter to use a modern plug socket. Thanks for reading.

Free: Old bridesmaid dresses (Eccleshill BD2) Withdrawn 33d - Three old bridesmaid dresses - one yellow, one pink, one a mixture of fabric. They fitted my daughter aged about 8 and 10, but have somewhat discoloured in places over time. Just wondered whether anyone might perhaps like the fabric to repurpose in some way? The fabric could be used for quilting, or crafts of some kind? Collection only, please get in touch if you would like any/all of these. A contact number would be appreciated. Thanks

Free: Memory card reader (Eccleshill BD2) Expired 57d - This is an old card reader, I have used it successfully in the past but my new laptop doesn't recognise it.

Free: Large swivel castors (Eccleshill BD2) Gifted 114d - I had these made for a sofa bed which I had at the time, but they didn't work. They've been sitting in a box ever since. It would be great to find someone who could make use of them... they are supposed to be pushed into a hollow "leg", about 5.5 cms diameter, the castors are 6.5cms diameter, and they are quite sturdy items, intended to support the weight of the bed plus occupants. If you think you can find a use for them please contact me and include a mobile number in your reply. Collection only please. Here's hoping...!

Free: Wallpaper paste ready made up (Eccleshill BD2) Expired 152d - Just had a small job done and been left with some mixed wallpaper paste.

I tried using it many years ago but was never very successful. Now I have no videos or video player so I don't need it. If there are any "techie" people out there who fancy having a go then you're welcome to collect it. Otherwise I fear it may go to the electronics section at the tip... Thanks for reading.
