Request: Fabric (Belleville, IL) Spring cleaning as a sewist? I’ll take any fabric you’re purging and put it to use making clothing/useful items and teaching others to do the same for free!

Request: Folding tables (Belleville, IL) Expired Anyone who is looking to get rid of folding tables on either the MO or IL side of the river, we’ll gladly take them off your hands! I can pick them up anytime this week before Friday. Any size, doesn’t matter. Just using them to help a neighbor de-hoard her house after her husband passed away.

Free: Sod! Topsoil! Concrete fill (Belleville, IL) Expired Cutting up and regrading our lawn today. We’ll have a ton of extra topsoil and/or sod if anyone wants it today or tomorrow before it gets hauled off Monday. We have machinery to load it into a truck/trailer for you, so all you have to do is show up with the means to carry it off. We’ll also have extra concrete fill that’s already broken up into small, easily carried pieces available if anyone wants that. Same thing—just show up with a way to haul it off today or tomorrow, and as much as you want is yours.

Free: Dog-eared picket tops (Belleville, IL) Expired I have a TON of these from a recent fence installation. They’re all about 5” tall, 5.5” wide. Neighbors have already taken a ton of them for landscaping edging for flower beds, but I still have SO many more. Planning on tossing them next week, so FCFS.

Request: Old wooden windows (Belleville, IL) Expired Making a Christmas present for my fiancé and I need to get a few old wooden windows for it. Lead paint, broken panes, etc. aren’t a problem, I’m handy and I’ll work with whatever I can get. Included photo is the style I’m looking for (though the actual number of panes is irrelevant).

Free: Misc Bricks (Belleville, IL) Expired You want bricks? We’ve got bricks. And by that I mean we found a buried patio in the backyard and had to dig up so. Many. Bricks. The hard part’s already done—all I ask is that if you want them, you take all of them. There’s this pile and then another pile that’s approximately the same size. You can have the cinderblocks too if you want them.

Free: Fill rock/concrete chunks (Belleville, IL) Expired Free fill rock/concrete chunks to anyone who wants them! We’re currently tearing up an old, broken sidewalk from our yard in Belleville, and I figured I’d see if anyone would want the aggregate chunks for free fill rock before I go through the trouble of disposing of it all. It’s good quality aggregate, broken into various sized manageable pieces, and there’s plenty of it. You will absolutely need a pickup truck or trailer to take all of it, but it’s free to anyone who’s willing to come pick it up. The sidewalk was approximately 90 feet long, 2.5 feet wide, and between 4-6” deep depending on the section.

Request: Sewing Materials (Belleville, IL) Expired Doing some spring/summer cleaning and clearing out old sewing supplies? I’ll take them off your hands! This also applies to any old (clean) sheets or curtains you are no longer using! Looking for fabric, thread, or any other sewing/embroidery supplies you have kicking around and aren’t using anymore. My boyfriend wants to learn to sew, so I’m picking up sewing again for the first time since I was 14, and the majority of my previous supplies were given away to my out-of-state sisters long ago. Unfortunately my machine died in the middle of teaching this past week (and is not repairable), so I am also looking for a machine that is working or has repairable issues.

Request: Clamps (Belleville, IL) Expired In need of clamps or vices for woodworking—they don’t have to be pretty, they just need to function.
