Free: Interior door (Heeley S8) Expired Fairly heavy but not solid as far as I can tell. Painted white. All door furniture taken off but included. Is outside for collection but the elements will not be kind to it. Pick-up sooner rather than later. Approx measurements: 80" x 32 3/4" x 1 3/4" Must collect as I do not drive. Do-able by one person, easier with two.

Request: Logs (Heeley S8) Withdrawn Hoping that someone can help me here. I’m looking for a large number of logs for a garden project. They can be any size, quantity or wood type (they are not for burning) but they do need to be intact sections, not chopped (see picture for details). I don’t drive so collection is a bit tricky for me but, if you have a bunch of logs hanging about on your drive or garden and you want to get rid of them and you can get them to me, I will gladly take them off your hands! Thank you in advance!

Request: Oriental Lady Lamp (Heeley S8) Expired Over the last few months, I’ve been attempting to replace some items (long story) and I’ve managed to find some of them from lovely Freeglers (thank you so much) but, I’m still looking for one of these. Does anyone have one they no longer use, maybe tucked away somewhere? It doesn’t need to be any particular colour (they definitely varied) or in perfect condition, neither does it have to have the electrics with it - I can replace those and also touch up any small blemishes. I just miss my favourite corner lamp and can guarantee that if I can find one, it would be going to a very good home.

Free: Established Garden Plants (Heeley S8) Expired Several fuchsias, a couple of rose bushes, a small fir tree and a large shrub needing a new home. If you can dig them out and re-use them in your garden, you can take as many as you want. Preference will be given to anyone who wants to take them all at once. I need the space to make room for a garden makeover. Please note: you will need to bring a spade and/or fork and any other tools or helper[s] you might need.

Request: Pallets (Heeley S8) Expired Does anyone happen to have a couple of pallets that they don't need which they might be able to drop off in Heeley? I need to keep a couple of things off the ground (temporarily) so, any type is fine. Thank you in advance!

Request: IKEA Hatten Table (Heeley S8) Expired This type of table was discontinued a few years ago but I'm hoping someone may have one (or even two) stored away somewhere. It's usually made of white/clear, semi-transluscent plastic (but sometimes coloured) with metal legs and the table top lifts off, so it can be used as a tray.

109d

Free: Various Garden Items (Heeley S8) Gifted A few bits ‘n’ bobs of garden stuff, including compost, a couple of broken chairs (for the wood or to fix) plus a willow screen and pyramid that have truthfully seen better days but are still just about holding together. Would probably be suitable for someone who has an allotment. The screening is 2m (approx) and the pyramid 1.5m (approx) so please bear that in mind for collection. I am not able to deliver and these items are collection only; everything needs to be taken at once please, I can’t split things up, sorry and I can' 'save' them either. Prompt collection would be appreciated - thank you so much.

Request: Used Wine Bottles (Heeley S8) Expired I'm looking for a quantity of green, brown or blue (but not clear) wine bottles for a project. If you have a bunch of them and you don't mind dropping them off, I would be happy to take them off your hands. Thank you in advance.

Request: IKEA Hatten Table (Heeley S8) Expired This type of table was discontinued a few years ago but I'm hoping someone may have one stored away somewhere. It's clear plastic (sometimes tinted) with metal legs and the table top lifts off, so it can be used as a tray.

Free: Solution & Water Tanks for VAX Steam Fresh Combi Classic (Heeley S8) Expired AFAIK these ONLY fit a VAX Steam Fresh Combi Classic Steam Cleaner. They are very old and quite discoloured but fully functional; I’ve just replaced mine with new ones. Could be useful for someone for spares. Collection only.

Free: Large Cardboard Box (Heeley S8) Expired 63 x 53 x 60 cm Collection only .

146d

Free: Double bed and mattress (please read description thoroughly) (Heeley S8) Gifted White metal double bed frame in fairly good condition (about 8 years old) and mattress (IKEA, about 3 years old). Nothing structurally wrong with either and the bed slats are all intact. It’s a comfortable bed that has served well, it's just surplus to requirements after downsizing. The frame has a few paint chips here and there but they cannot be seen when the bed is assembled and dressed (although you could fix them with a dab of appliance paint). Unfortunately, there have been a couple of little accidents; the movers got mud all over the mattress and although most of it brushed off, there are still some marks which may or may not wash out (they are minor, though) and, one of the allen bolts has sheared and it needs stronger hands than mine to unbolt with pliers or grips and replace. Assuming you can manage that, the entire frame comes apart for transport. Collection only. Both must be taken; I don't want to split the mattress from the frame - thank you for reading. Also, please don't arrange to collect and then let me down; I have had a few 'no shows' for this and other items - just let me know if you can't or you change your mind, it's OK. I'd rather know than be left hanging and having to re-post. Cheers :)

Free: Beldray Pet Plus X Shape Mop and Bucket (Spares or Repair) (Heeley S8) Gifted I've never really got along with this mop, I found it a bit fiddly to use and it was really temperamental to operate. Now, it's just given up and I can't wring it out any more. Not sure if that's me or the mop but if anyone can make use of this even just for the parts to use for theirs, please feel free to take it. Collection only.

147d

Free: Brass Door Security Chain (Heeley S8) Expired Works fine, just upgrading my door furniture and security. Collection only.

148d

Request: Chest of Drawers (Heeley S8) Expired As long as it’s functional, I’m open to most sizes/styles. It’s probably going to be a temporary measure. I don’t drive so I might need to rely on the kindness of the gifter to deliver if I can’t find a friend to help.

149d

Free: Large Cardboard Box (90x60 cm approx) (Heeley S8) Gifted Just had a delivery and the box is enormous. It's not particularly sturdy but it really is a fair size. Thought someone might be able to use it (crafting, allotment or something) so checking before it goes into the recycling! Collection only.

151d

Free: Cat Supplies (Heeley S8) Gifted Various items. Food, treats, cat litter and a corner litter tray (used with some marks on tray section but washed). Collection only. Priority will be given to a cat rescue/charity.

157d

Free: (Spares/Repair) Dolce Gusto Mini Me Coffee Machine (Heeley S8) Gifted Everything works except, it doesn't heat up the water properly any more. I'm going to buy a new one as this one is about 10 years old but, I thought someone might be able to refurbish it (apparently they can sometimes be fixed) or use some of the parts for spares for their own machine (you never know) so, before it goes to the recycling centre I thought I'd pop it on here! Collection only.

159d

Request: Garden Furniture (Heeley S8) Received Does anyone happen to have a couple of unused garden chairs and maybe a table or a bistro set that are just taking up room in the shed/garage? I don’t drive so I might need to rely on the kindness of the gifter to deliver but, if you need a home for some unwanted garden furniture, I may be able to help!

160d

Free: Distressed Garden Fork (Heeley S8) Gifted Good quality fork but the handle, not so good. Great for anyone who’s a bit handy at repairing such tools. Collection only.

165d

Request: Clear, glass, screw-top jars (Heeley S8) Received I’m after a few jars for bringing along cuttings. They need to be the small to medium screw-top type (like baby food to jam) but it doesn’t matter if they don’t have their lids (so, not really the GU ramekin type, which are a little too shallow, although I’d probably take those too if you have some that are overrunning a cupboard and desperately need a home). I can’t collect I’m afraid (don’t drive) but if you have some you can drop off, I’ll happily trade you a baby plant for your trouble. They will all be up-cycled to propogate cuttings and not just tossed into the brown recycling bin. Thank you in advance. Pics for reference.

Free: ikea ektorp 2-seater sofa (Heeley S8) Gifted One owner before me. Slight damage (already present when I received this sofa); a paint or bleach stain on the front ‘skirt’ (possibly removable) and some staining (wine I think) to the cushions but unnoticeable when the covers are on. A few minor threads and bobbles from cat claws but nothing significant. The covers are fully washable and replacements are also available via IKEA. I can throw in the scatter cushions, too but not the dog. It’s a really comfortable sofa. I’ve even slept on it and I love it but, I finally bought a new one. Don't hesitate to ask if you need more info' and, you can find a description of this model of sofa and assembly instructions etc. over at IKEA: /*/// I cannot deliver but this sofa does pack down to fit in a family-sized car. *This links to a dark blue version but my sofa has teal covers.

Free: Old Security Camera (cable cut) (Heeley S8) Gifted Currently all attached to the rear of my home (ground floor level) and surplus to requirements if anyone can use it (even if just for scrap/parts). Needs detaching so the appropriate tools are recommended. Collection only.

289d

Free: IKEA EKTORP 2-Seater Sofa (Heeley S8) Gifted This is a (now) third hand sofa, gifted to me originally with cream covers that had some cat claw damage. I bought brand new covers for it from IKEA but despite them being labelled as removable and washable, they went a bit crinkly (see pic'). Unfortunately one arm has a small stain on it that I have not been able to get out (see pic’). Whilst they are also marked 'DO NOT IRON', I find that they iron perfectly well though. These covers are included. You can download the full instructions for putting the sofa together on the IKEA Web site: This sofa is collection only; I do not drive, sorry. It's dismantled, ready to transport though (see pic’).

Free: Charity/Car Boot Items (Heeley S8) Gifted X4 boxes (one quite heavy) + a few more items. Everything from books to blinds. Downsizing so all surplus to requirement; some new and/or like new items, ideal for a charity rummage sale, for instance. Collection only. I am not able to list them all, nor can I have them 'picked over' - successful person must take all items. Thank you.
