Free: Trash bags (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Gifted 10d - I ran a clothing drive at my church this week, and people brought loads of clothes in plastic bags. We dumped the clothes into the large cardboard collection bins and set the reusable bags aside. We accumulated dozens of the smaller size (13 gallon) (white bag in picture), a couple dozen of the larger size (30 gallon) and several "construction" size; those are all approximate sizes. These are obviously all used, and don't include any store or Schnucks/Walmart bag; I did my best to weed out any that were torn or had holes. I also have some new bags (of the 30 - 33 gallon size) which are not pictured that I will add (not sure why I have so many boxes of them!). I live in Des Peres a mile west of 270 between Dougherty Ferry and Manchester Roads. No hurry on my part, so depending on interest level I'll wait a few days to gift them. Thanks!

Free: Office/school supplies (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Gifted 52d - Cleaning out my file cabinet and desk drawers, and have accumulated a variety of school and office supply items. See the picture for most of what is included. There are dozens of ink pens and sharpies in the zip lock bag on the top left, all of which I tested to be sure they work. Not included in the picture are 70+ hanging folders (legal size) - most are new, but all are clean and in "like new" condition. If interested, let me know if you could pick up within the next week. I live a mile west of Hwy 270 between Dougherty Ferry and Manchester Roads.

Free: HP8610 printer - not working (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Expired 106d - HP Officejet Pro 8610 about 8 years old - started getting the "Printhead damaged or missing" message a week ago, and Itried cleaning the printhead per multiple YouTube videos but to no avail. A new printhead costs at least half as much as a new printer, so decided to replace the printer. It is physically in good condition, so I'm sure parts could be harvested if repair is not possible. The power cord and paper tray are included, but not any ink cartridges. I live a mile west of 270 between Manchester and Dougherty Ferry Roads. If you're interested, let me know a day you could pick up, and I will put the printer on my (covered) porch. Free: Pack-n-Play (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Expired 143d - 35 year old Evenflo Packnplay - in very good condition. Includes the "mattress" pad, but no sheets. I'll look at any responses and reply later this week; location is one mile west of 270 between Dougherty Ferry and Manchester Roads. Thanks.

Free: Pegboard accessories (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Expired 271d - These are sturdier than the typical pegboard hook, but still fit into a standard pegboard. There are no hooks - just the straight pegs as in the picture. They aren't zinc plated, just bare metal. If interested, let me know when you can pickup (I live a mile west of 270 between Dougherty Ferry and Manchester Roads).

Free: Spray paint - partially used (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Expired 344d - Several partially used cans of spray paint with varying levels remaining. First picture shows small cans (see second picture) of paint that are many years old (from my 27 year old son's Cub Scout years!); they all have some left, but a few seem almost empty. I weighed them and put the weight in grams in the picture to show relative amounts. The second picture shows what the cans look like from the side to give an idea of size/volume. The third picture is of larger spray paint cans, again with varying amounts left (and with the weight in grams listed over each can). The last picture is of two small cans of paint; both are at least half full (note from the picture these are only 8 oz cans); I didn't open them, as I was afraid that would drop dirt or rust into the paint, as they have not been opened in many years. Hopefully someone has a use for a variety of paints, even with small amounts left. If not, I will recycle responsibly. Thanks!

Free: Used golf balls (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Expired 353d - Approximately 16 dozen golf balls of various colors, cleanliness and condition. These are all probably "playable" (i.e. none with covers ripped or badly scarred), but many are dirty and worn. I've accumulated these over a lifetime of looking for my shots in the woods and weeds, but am no longer motivated to practice chipping in my back yard. :)

Free: Auto fluids (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Expired 358d - I don't think auto fluids go bad, but these are all old. The two cans of brake fluid have about a full can between them; the anti-freeze and transmission fluid containers are each about 1/2 full.

Free: Toro push mower with issues (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Expired 1y - Offering a Toro push lawn mower (self-propelled). It is less than 10 years old and physically in good shape. I've had trouble with it the last couple years where it would run for 30 minutes, then sputter to a stop. I had a mechanic check it several times, and he attributed this issue to low gas quality. I switched gas providers a few times and put in an additive, but the issue persisted (I have subsequently learned St. Louis area gas is blended 90% gas, 10% ethanol; the ethanol has alcohol that has a water content that can oxidize and rust the carburetor). I wasn't surprised when the mower didn't start, but I sharpened the blade by turning the mower on it's side; when I right-sided it, a pool of oil was on the floor, having leaked out through the air filter. That was the last straw! So, now I have a battery powered mower, and looking for a home for my old mower. It comes with a bag and side-discharge chute. My preference would be that it go to someone who can rebuild it or use it for parts rather than scrapping it (I can do that!). If interested, let me know when you could pick it up NEXT WEEK (after Easter); I live a mile west of 270 between Manchester and Dougherty Ferry Road. Thanks. Note: I threw away the old air filter, as it was coated in oil (but the blade is sharp!).

Free: Hard drive - 500gb (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Gifted 1y - Old hard external hard drive - 500 gb. The brand is Ultra, but there is no model number on the exterior case. It looks beat up, but that is just because the case has a rubbery finish and the dust doesn't wipe off. Power cord and USB cable included. If interested, let me know if you can pick up either Friday or Saturday, and I can leave it on my covered porch.

Free: Spice Rack (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Gifted 1y - Spice rack, 13" tall. I gave this spice rack to my parents many years ago, and now it has come back to me. Most of the spices are unused, with only the most common ones (rosemary, etc.) being lower in volume (but still plenty of those left as well). One picture shows a spice bottle with a blank label - this jar is empty. I live a mile west of 270 between Dougherty Ferry and Barrett Station Road. Let me know when you could come by this week, and I can put the spice rack on my covered porch on one of the days that is mutually convenient. Thanks for the interest.

Free: Camera tripod - needs repair (Des Peres, a mile west of 270) Expired 1y - Soldex camera tripod in perfect working condition except the camera adaptor attachment is missing a piece. Per the picture of the attachment, one plastic piece is missing on the right side, so the adaptor on your camera will not be locked in. I'm sure a handy person could make the missing piece in their workshop, or a handier person could print one from a 3D printer! Otherwise, this is a very nice tripod (albeit 25 years old!) that tilts, swivels, locks at an angle, ... If interested, let me know when you could pick up from my porch, one mile west of 270 between Manchester and Barrett Station Roads. I'll send my address to the recipient (which I will take a couple days to decide).
