Free: Pre-recorded / blank VHS tapes - Weston Creek Expired - In case anyone has a use for them, I have some VHS tapes that you could record over. You probably don't want to watch them as-is (Titles include "The Sydney Olympics Club 2000" and "The New Tax System How-To Series" though possibly some movies too). Free: internal doors - Weston Creek Expired - I have several door from a built-in wardrobe that I removed. These are standard internal doors made from hardboard faces sandwiching a cardboard honeycomb with a timber frame around the edge. Possibly could be used as a light-duty table top, or as doors. Free: Square panes of toughened glass - Weston Creek Expired - I have a large number of sheets of glass, you can choose between two sizes, either about 380mm square or about 575mm square and about 3mm thick. It is lightly textured / frosted on one side and smooth on the other side. It is toughened glass so would not be feasible to cut. It was originally meant for solar panel manufacture, so it should be pretty hail-proof. There are no frames, it is just the glass. You could make a nice greenhouse from them if you know how to make a frame to hold them up. Free: Blue Travel Pillow - Weston Creek Expired - On offer is a nice blue U-shaped travel pillow. It was a free gift that came with a purchase and is clean and has never been used. I don't use them myself. Free: LCD computer monitors, old PCs and parts - Weston Creek Expired - On offer: LCD computer monitors - you can find more info by googling the model numbers: P2412Hb 2007WFPb 1908FPb 1707FPt These have DVI-D inputs and VGA inputs but not Displayport though adapters may be available. Some of then might have scuff marks or scratches but most are pretty nice. I may be able to find cables if you let me know what sort you need, or send a photo of the port on your PC. I also have some desktop PCs that are qute old (originally ran Windows 7 or Windows XP but the hard drives were wiped and need reinstalling). Many more PCs missing hard drives and missing RAM. Also some DVD-RW drives and many PC power supplies (Dell) of various ages, and other PC parts. Some nice USB keyboards. I might post a list later if I can get around to making it, otherwise let me know what you are after. Free: Two very old GPS Satnavs - Weston Creek Expired - On offer are two very old Satnavs (2004 - 2006 era) which I was given but have no use for. One Mitac / Mio C510 Digiwalker with mini-USB car charger to suit One Mitac / Navman / Mio 168 DigiWalker PiN Pocket PC which I don't have a charger for but you can get them on ebay. They are held together by tiny screws and I opened them up to have a look and charged the batteries slightly, and they both turn on and start up, but I suspect the batteries might not have much capacity. I've no idea whether there are updated maps available for these. Anyway if anyone wants them let me know. To go as one lot. Jeff, last time I offered these, I got a message via trashnothing where you expressed an interest, and I replied but didn't hear anything further. If you're stil linterested, please email me chrisgj198@gmail.com Anyone else who wants them also feel free to make contact. Chris Free: Blue Travel Pillow - Weston Creek Expired - On offer is a free gift that came with a purchase, never used. It is a U-shaped travel pillow, blue in colour. It looks quite nice but I never use them. Free: Powered Respirator (needs repair) - Weston Creek Gifted - On offer is a Triton PRA 001 Powered Respirator. If you google the model number there is some information about it. It has built-in earmuffs and certified hard hat, with a hose to a unit with rechargeable batteries and air filters to provide you with filtered air. This one is at least 15 years old and the batteries are NiCd type and quite likely won't take a charge - I haven't tried, sometimes NiCds can be revived but I would expect that you might need to replace the cells, which would require some repair skills. I saw that some people are selling replacement batteries for it, but you need to open it to change them. You might also be able to buy an adapter to run it from a modern power tool battery if you are into DIY modifications. The filters are expired but I think it would take fairly standard respirator cartridges.

Free: Set of modern cloth nappies - Weston Creek (Edited by Mod) Expired - On offer are about 12 newborn size and probably 20ish bigger size modern cloth nappies, suitable for use up to potty training age. Although I have mostly managed to block out the memories of these activities, I do recall that it was enough nappies to always have fresh ones ready for one child. They are "Close pop-in" and "TotsBots" brands. This is the sort of thing, though the models may be slightly different now: They were washed and stored clean well before the pandemic in case that is a concern. I'd prefer them to go as one lot if possible. I prefer to deliver and am happy to deliver anywhere in Canberra. Free: Car seat - Weston Creek Expired - On offer is an old (2004!) car seat which I got from freecycle and which we used (occasionally) in our second car, but child has now outgrown. Here is what the ad said when I obtained it from freecycle in 2019: "Old but in good condition. SafenSound Royale. Suits children 8-18 kgs. Never been in a crash, just that smallest grandchild has now outgrown." It has served us well, has still never been in an accident, and still looks ok to me, but bearing in mind its age I would not suggest it for daily use. Perhaps a relative who occasionally needs to transport a child may find a use for it. Otherwise you are welcome to put it to any alternative uses you come up with - a very posh driver's seat for a billy cart maybe... I prefer to deliver, and I'm happy to deliver it anywhere in Canberra. Free: (Edited by Mod) Offer: 24 inch bike - Weston Creek Expired - On offer is a "Kent Ridgedale" 18-speed bike with 24 inch wheels, purple and white in colour. The seat tilt adjustment tends to become loose, which may be fixable but it is not a very good bike. I prefer to deliver and can drop it off anywhere in Canberra. Free: Aldi ultrasonic cleaner - Weston Creek Gifted - On offer is a working ultrasonic cleaner from Aldi. It is a bit more gentle than I wanted, but might be useful for delicate items. I prefer to deliver and can drop it off anywhere in Canberra. Free: Empty 4L paint tins - Weston Creek Expired - I have several empty 4L tins from water-based paint (Solagard etc) with lids and wire handle - they have drips of dry paint remaining on the inside and outside but are as empty as I could get them and dry. I prefer to deliver and can drop them off anywhere in Canberra. Free: melamine coated chipboard and mdf from office desks, central canberra Expired - Several pieces of chipboard and MDF coated with melamine-type surface from old office desks. Will probably be got rid of early next week. It is now outside so keep weather in mind.
