Elmhurst, Villa Park, Lombard area please. Free: Sansevieria - bare root (Elmhurst: Rt. 83 & North Ave.) Gifted 271d - This is the same family as snake plant or mother-in-law-tongue but shorter. I think it is called bird's nest Sansevieria. Giving these away as bare root as they have colonized in the container I had them in and I have divided them. Let me know how many you would like, I have several. Since they are bare root, you will need your own soil and container.

These are from cards the various charities send so the sizes and quality varies. Some have pictures of flowers, some are religious (Christmas, Easter), and some are plain. 2. 30 small tablets, various sizes, From charities so they are small.

Free: Resurrection Lily & Daffodil Bulbs (Elmhurst: Rt. 83 & North Ave.) Expired 1y - Daffodil bulbs are a pale yellow color. Resurrection lilies (some people call these ghost lilies) sent up green foliage in the spring which dies back then it seems like overnight in September, they sent up a stalk of pretty pink lilies. All these need to be planted now especially the resurrection lilies as they do not have a protective skin like other lilies. Some are small and might not flower the first year. Request: 30 Gallon (or larger) Aquarium (Elmhurst: Rt. 83 & North Ave.) Expired 1y - Requesting a watertight aquarium of at least 30 gallons. Not to be picky but this is for an aquatic turtle so it cannot be a tall tank but rather the standard aquarium shape. We have two turtles and we got them when they were tiny. When they were old enough, we were able to determine they are both male. One is much more aggressive than the other so we had to devise a makeshift divider for the tank. This worked well for a couple of years but now the aggressive one chomps down on the feet of the other one if he dares to put them between the divider. So we had to move one to a different tank which is WAY too small for his size. Elmhurst, Villa Park, Lombard area preferred but will go further for a larger tank. Thank you for your consideration of this request. We had no idea when we got these cute little turtles that they would get as big as they have AND that they can live more than 30 years!!! They are about 7 years old now. Free: 10 Pants Hangers (Elmhurst: Rt. 83 & North Ave.) Gifted 1y - 10 slacks hangers. A little dusty but nothing wrong with them, just do not need anymore.

Free: 24 Altoids Tins (empty) (Elmhurst: Rt. 83 & North Ave.) Expired 1y - Crafters gearing up for the holidays - 24 Altoids tins. Porch pickup. Free: Ladies Vest - never worn - size 18 (Elmhurst: Rt. 83 & North Ave.) Expired 1y - Pretty ladies vest, fully lined. Took a sewing class and made this but did not quite finish. As you can see in the picture of the back, it needs a D-ring added so someone who sews can finish this off and have a lovely new vest. I think it is probably about a size 18 or maybe even 20.

Free: PPU - Sidewalk chalk (Elmhurst: Rt. 83 & North Ave.) Gifted 1y - A lot of sidewalk chalk... several boxes of unused Crayola sidewalk chalk plus a random bag of additional sidewalk chalk of which some has been partially used. Free: Lots of small tablets (Elmhurst: Rt. 83 & North Ave.) Gifted 1y - There are the kind that charities send so they do not have a lot of pages in each - maybe 20 or so pages?
