Request: Paint&brush to mark wheelie bins (Gorse Hill M32) Looking for old part used paint and old (seen better days) paintbrush or some spray paint even, to mark our communal bins. To stop arguments about which part of the scheme is their home, To which side of the scheme they belong. It didn't used to be a problem but since Trafford council replaced the bin collection company we are constantly having been bins left unemptied. Things have come to a head because all the bins were left on one side of the communal scheme one of them haven't been emptied and there's been an argument now about who that full bin belongs to which side of the scheme has to cope with one bin less between now and next collection day.

Free: Small FF needs collecting (Gorse Hill M32) See photos. Both fridge and freezer compartments work. It needs to go asap. Ideally today (Friday) but latest Sunday. Otherwise it will have to go to the tip. It works it's being replaced with a new one as I need bigger fridge and freezer compartments. It would be ideal for an office type environment or for someone who doesn't currently have a FF and who doesn't have much space or doesn't have need of much space for keeping food cool or frozen. It will fit in a reasonable sized vehicle.

Free: Old Freeview TV - working - no R/C (Stretford M32) Gifted No remote with it but the functions work using the buttons at the side of the TV. I believe a remote control specifically for this TV brand (technika) can be purchased from Amazon for under £7. But if you have a sky remote or a fire stick remote etc they may work with this TV for the basic functions. The Hdmi and usb sockets work. See photos. * Please provide a mobile number or I may not reply to your request.* And it would be helpful for me, for you to let me know why you are asking for this item. And TIMEWASTERS will be BLOCKED! No time wasters please!

Free: Habitat drop leaf table (Stretford M32) Nice quality table. See photos including photo of the damage. It's about 100cm across (diameter). I've removed the top for easy transport. Offering this on behalf of a friend who damaged it on reassembling after a move. They didn't check and used the wrong length screws. 🤦 ** I was going to take this to the tip but I can't face it. It's too nice a table. So it's gotta be a worthwhile project for someone **

Request: Gazeebo (Stretford M32) For communal area project where I live. I've included a picture of the communal area To give potential gifters a better idea of what we're looking to achieve for the residents (including myself). I'm also looking for something like fencing etc. that will cover the awful view of the horrible wheelie bins. I would even be happy to receive sensible suggestions for that particular problem. Thank you for reading and thank you in advance. Richard

Free: Next sofa - leather used (Stretford M32) See photos. It's used good condition and very comfortable. It just doesn't fit with my requirements now because of my mobility problems getting worse. As it's a quality piece of furniture it's quite heavy. Which also means I can't help much with the moving of it. Removal will need a minimum of two people and long vehicle or a van. I have mobility issues so I would be of limited help with the moving it. I'm on the first floor but it's one straightforward flight of stairs straight out the exit of my building. A trolley may be of help. I can't deliver it.

Request: Gardening tools (Stretford M32) Withdrawn I'm looking for some simple gardening tools to maintain some parts of our communal areas the professionals don't touch. They're in a bit of a state overgrown with weeds etc. Things like a tiller to break the ground up and a rake to help us get the weeds out to then let the soil have time rest before we then decide what to do with these atm unsightly areas. As it's communal areas belonging to the landlord we dont have money to buy equipment and we're not looking for anything that's in brilliant condition. Just that will do the job.

Free: Ikea galant desk/table (Stretford M32) Gifted See photos. The top is 120cm x 80cm Metal base is 120cm x 40 cm And leg length is 70cm. NB all measurements are approximate and the legs when fitted are at an angle. So the height of the desk will be a little less than 70cm. The base is a metal frame with legs to be screwed to it underneath (all the screws are provided). Already disassembled for easier transportation. Note the top isn't in great aesthetic condition. But it is IKEA so other tops should fit if you want the base and legs only.

Free: Beanbag - stool. Project (Stretford M32) Seen better days. A bit wobbly. Zip is stuck open. I was going to remove the polystyrene beads and give it was wash but as the zip is stuck open on the outer bag I haven't the time (Nor the expertise) to sort it. The beads would perhaps be useful if the bag itself isn't? There is a pouch and a zip at the end of the pouch to facilitate easy removal of the beads.

Free: Small (kids) lounger cushions x2 (Stretford M32) See photo. Got these from my sister. Saved from the bin. They've been washed. The original cushions have been replaced - In the main body of the covers) The heads can be filled with anything you like. I've popped filling from a written off pillow inside one. Each compartment is zipped separately. Not particularly attractive but they could be dyed and they do the job.

Free: Wassilly (replica) - repair project (Stretford M32) Gifted Please read below before asking for this chair. It's currently in pieces. Some of the leather is damaged. I had misplaced the screws for connecting side pieces. But Ive now found them. The first photo is of the chair before I took it apart. The second is of what it could look like if restored. I can't do the project so I'm looking for someone who wants to do what I can't. Otherwise it'll have to go to the tip. Which I was going to do some time ago but considering the iconic style of this chair I just couldn't do that. But now I have no choice. So if it's not taken by someone over the weekend I'll have no choice but to dispose of it at a council recycling centre. No timewasters please. timewasters will be blocked.
