Free: Small wheeled holdall - fabric issues (Corsham SN13) 22d - A nice sized holdall for a weekend away - or even a lightly packed week. Unfortunately the fabric on the top panel is degrading and rips easily (see second photo) but the wheels and handle are sound and really smooth! Before I throw it out I thought I'd see if an enterprising person might want it for the mechanism, or to replace the top panel?

Free: Plastic woodgrain-effect window trim (Corsham SN13) 27d - 4 lengths of the stuff you see fitted around double glazing units to cover gaps. 1.86m long at the shortest, the others may be a smidge longer. Removed from our windows after it came loose, at which point we found the gaps were small enough to fill rather than cover with trim!

Free: Old rugs/mats for garage or garden? (Corsham SN13) Expired 34d - The largest is 1.6m x 1m (in case the tape measure isn't readable once this posts!) They are all rather the worse for wear, the backs have gone crispy and the fronts have dust and mould (the smallest is the worst, the others better). I used them to pad the walls of my garage to protect car doors when opening, but I also see them used for weed suppression in the garden?

Request: 20+ plastic-coated paperclips (Corsham SN13) Withdrawn 60d - Slightly odd request, but I only need 20 so buying a whole box seems excessive... If you happen to be overrun with paperclips I would be very happy to take some plastic coated ones off your hands (they are used outside, hence the requirement for them to be coated) Free: Size 10 briefs (Corsham SN13) Gifted 63d - Bought the wrong size and too late to return, most donation points don't take underwear but would like to see them used rather than thrown away. They are unworn!

Free: Bottle with stopper (Corsham SN13) Expired 86d - No idea what it came from, we used it for oil as it looked nicer on the counter top than the supermarket plastic bottle. The wooden top of the stopper is discoloured around the attachment but the inside is fine.

Free: Cat design insulated lunchbox (Corsham SN13) Gifted 86d - Some marks on the inside but I've wiped it down with an antiviral cleaner. Has a slot on the bottom for a card with identification (not included but easy to cut down a new piece to fit). Walnut just for scale!

Free: 50 red napkins (Corsham SN13) Expired 86d - Unopened, left over from a party years ago, we won't use them all now...

Free: Always long pantyliners (Corsham SN13) Gifted 86d - Almost full, I didn't realise they were scented and I find it a really unpleasant smell for some reason - I'm sure it's quite acceptable to most people!

Free: Cardboard edge protection (Corsham SN13) Expired 160d - Thick right angled cardboard - useful to protect delicate edges of furniture, pictures etc when moving? Several lengths between 1-2m long

Request: Weekly pill box (Corsham SN13) Expired 167d - Perhaps someone has one lying around? The sort that has a section for each day - it doesn't need to have am/pm slots or anything fancy. Free: doormats (Corsham SN13) Gifted 202d - 3 of, all similar standard small doormat size but a variety of colours and style: 1x light green bound carpet 1x IKEA dark blue with ridges 1x black with ridges (has some expanding foam stuff stuck to the edge) Happy for these to go together or separately - if any can be reused it's one less thing thrown away. Free: plastic book covers (Corsham SN13) Expired 202d - I bought some books from the library and they came with these covers. I was going to dispose of them but wondered if anyone would want them for reuse first?

Free: Foam offcut (Corsham SN13) Gifted 202d - An odd piece left over from a project - approx 55x25cm, 5cm thick

Request: Computer case fans (Corsham SN13) Received 222d - I'm hoping someone might have a couple of computer case fans lying around - they're the kind of thing I always ended up with spares of but I had a clear out, just before I found a use for them..! Free: 5x 50ml bottles (Corsham SN13) Expired 227d - Empty miniature toiletries, but can anyone use them for traveling or similar before they go in the recycling?

Free: Offcuts of mirror for windows (Corsham SN13) Gifted 241d - It's a self adhesive film that adds a mirror effect to windows, as a privacy screen. This is only offcuts, all quite narrow so would be suitable for a thin window or one made up of many small panes. Actual product here for more info: If anyone is interested, I can get measurements of the pieces before you commit to collecting. Free: Lime green chair (Corsham SN13) Gifted 241d - Fabric chair, originally from IKEA many years ago, the fabric feels slightly plastic-y so could possibly be used outdoors as well. It has stretched and has a few marks, but its still perfectly useable. Currently disassembled for storage but easy to put back together, I can explain how.

Free: 3 concrete blocks (Corsham SN13) Expired 300d - From a demolished wall, I picked them up to make a base for a garden wall but it turned out we couldn't use them Pretty rough shape, but anyone need them for a rough job/back fill etc?

Free: Water saving shower head (Corsham SN13) Expired 335d - I got it from the water company, but it doesn't suit me. According to their site, it regulates water flow to 8 litres per minute, and fits a standard ½” hose thread - would anyone like it? Free: Piece of foam (Corsham) Gifted 341d - Foam with memory foam top, approx 95x95cm, but has had the piece cut out of it as shown (this is included). I was going to use it for a chair but it turned out to be far too thick for my purposes. Can anyone use it?

Free: Lime green fabric and metal chair (Corsham) Expired 342d - Metal frame and stretched fabric seat. The fabric is marked and stretched, please see the photos, but there's life left in it yet! Approx 45cm X 50cm X 84cm, seat height is 46cm

Free: Household linens (with issues) (Corsham) Expired 342d - None of these are in particularly good condition, but could still be used as is or would provide lots of fabric for other uses: 3x double fitted sheets, white/cream (elastic has gone) 1x single fitted sheet, blue (same) 1x large flat sheet, dark blue (torn at one corner) 2x vintage tea towels (worn through in places) Giving them a chance before putting in fabric recycling later in the week.

Free: Hot air gun/paint stripper (Corsham) Gifted 349d - It's old but it works, I somehow ended up with 3...

Free: 2 Vinyl record storage cases (Corsham) Gifted 349d - One has torn on the outer layer, the other had some small scuffs, but they will still carry your LPs!

Free: 6 door handle sets (Corsham) Gifted 349d - Taken off old doors and still in fine condition. Includes spindles and screws - the rose unscrews to allow for fitting then screws back on to leave it looking tidy.

Free: IKEA wire-hung lights (Corsham) Gifted 349d - These were all the rage a while back! One set, as fat as I know never even installed... Please note I cannot test the electrical safety of these so installation is at your own risk.

Free: Blue plastic bin (Corsham) Gifted 349d - It's from IKEA, it's plastic, it's a bin that holds rubbish!

Free: Fabric drill case (empty) (Corsham) Expired 349d - It's always 35x25cm, and has elastic loops on the inside for the (now perished) original drill. But it's a useful case, I just have enough others for my needs

Free: Toolbox and small parts box (Corsham) Gifted 349d - The toolbox has cantilever inner layers, all working. The parts organizer has a little damage to the lid but it still works just fine.
