Free: Sand-pit sand (Kennington OX1) I'm decommissioning our sand-pit. I was able to salvage a fair amount of the sand, about three buckets worth, I've sieved it so there's shouldn't be any bits in it but no guarantees! It was always covered with a tarp, so no cat-do. Note this is different to normal building sand and quite a bit more expensive. Buckets not included, you'll need to bring your own!

Free: 5v 1A power supplies, 3.5mm barrel connector. (Kennington OX1) I have quite a few of these, going spare, thanks.

Free: 486SX-Compatible controller board (Kennington OX1) Gifted Equivalent of 486SX PC with 32MB RAM, 8MB of flash, 2 USB ports, 1 Ethernet, serial console. A low spec these days but runs Linux. I have at least 10 of these spare if you want to tinker, don't feel you need to take all of them, thanks!

Free: European 5v adapters 1.2a with 3.5mm barrel connector (Kennington OX1) Gifted All working as far as I know.

8d

Free: Water filters (Kennington OX1) Gifted These are at least 5 years old, we don't have the jug for these anymore so no use to us. There are 5 sealed filters inside the box (one missing). There is no use by date, but some kind of batch number, unsure what it means! According to Google these are unlikely to be harmful but may have reduced effectiveness over time so use is at your own risk, thanks.

Request: Large sturdy cardboard box 28" by 23" by 9" (or larger) (Kennington OX1) Withdrawn 28 inches wide (710mm) 23 inches deep (585mm) 9 inches high (230mm) Need to post something large and heavy, unfortunately I don't have anything big enough. I can adapt it to make it smaller. Many thanks! Simon.

Free: Bunch of ear-pieces/headphones for recycling (Kennington OX1) Gifted Don't know which is in working condition and which isn't, probably some of them do work, but long since replaced with wireless stuff.

20d

Free: USB power meter (Kennington OX1) Gifted This didn't register anything when connected to a few devices, because I think it's not sensitive enough, Amps only goes down to 10mA units, it's a very basic meter and doesn't do anything with USB-C/USB3 PD AFAIK. Just the basic A connectors in and out. Still might be useful for someone otherwise it's e-waste.

23d

Free: Dualit kettle and base (Kennington OX1) Gifted Could use a clean, offering as it has a cracked viewing window, although it's not leaking and has been a great kettle otherwise.

23d

Free: Bunch of power supplies + battery charger. (Kennington OX1) Gifted Mainly 12v, one 10v, one 9v hopefully you can read ratings, all working AFAIK but not tested recently. Bound for the recycling if nobody wants them. There is also one multi-cell NIMH, NICD battery charger with car adapter, for e.g. airsoft packs but I don't have any of these anymore.

34d

Free: 3x DVD-RW/ROM drives (Kennington OX1) Gifted Two are SATA, one is PATA (on the left), as per labels. All working when last tested, thanks!

Free: On site guide, electrical wiring regs (Kennington OX1) Expired Pretty much as-new condition, note these are not the latest editions. Thanks.

136d

Free: On site guide and wiring regs (Kennington OX1) Expired Not the latest, but may be useful, thanks.

141d

Free: Multi-cell NiMH/NiCd charger (Kennington OX1) Gifted This can be used to charge e.g. airsoft battery packs because you can select the number of cells. It works off either mains or 12v, will go in the rubbish with the small electrical items on Thursday, so needs to be picked up before then, thanks!

Free: Breadmaker (Kennington OX1) Gifted Russel Hobbs, worn but working.

148d

Free: McKeller Jigsaw (Kennington OX1) Gifted Cable damage should be repaired before use, use is entirely at your risk. It does switch on and run fine.

Free: Couple of plastic chairs (metal legs) (Kennington OX1) Gifted As pictured.

193d

Free: Bunch of cables (Kennington OX1) Expired All the more obsolete cables telephone cables DVI to DVI DP to DVI Couple of nokia PSUs ADSL filters Some shorter USB to mini-B Obviously I'd rather one person took the lot, than entertaining a dozen visits from different people wanting different cables! If you don't want everything that's OK, but once claimed you'll have first choice, the rest will go to recycling. Of course you're also welcome to re-post here :).

203d

Free: WiiFit game for Wii (Kennington OX1) Expired It came with the balance board (which I no longer have).

210d

Free: Couple of first-aid kits (Kennington OX1) Expired Everything expired but maybe someone wants to save it from the black bin? Mix of dates, some stuff from 2007, some later.

215d

Free: Globe lamp (broken) (Kennington OX1) Gifted Maybe this is of some use. It's a mains bulb with flex and switch connected to a mains plug. The bulb goes inside the globe (about 12 in diameter). The stand has been broken, but someone may still want it, otherwise it's going with the black bin electrical waste.

241d

Free: Pedestal bathroom sink (Kennington OX1) Expired I'm changing my sink over from a pedestal to a vanity unit, so want to get rid of this. It's a Wickes one, no chips or damage that I can see, just a bit of silicon to remove. Height 820mm width 560mm. Seems a shame to take it to the recycling.

320d

Free: Wood (Kennington OX1) Expired Just cut this leylandii, it's not good in a wood burner for some time but maybe someone wants to use it for bonfire night or a BBQ etc... I will probably be taking it to the recycling center tomorrow, so needs to be reserved soon. Thanks!

324d

Free: Ring binders (Kennington OX1) Expired Does anyone still use these? I have quite a few in good condition if anyone wants to look through.

Request: Camcorder/player for playing mini-dv or video-8 cassettes (Kennington OX1) Expired I have both video8 and mini-DV cassettes and nothing to play them on, so I'm looking for camcorders to play either format. I just want to check if there's anything on them, I may not need it for long, then it's probably going to go back on here for someone else. Of course, it only needs to play them the recording function can be broken. Thanks!

Free: Electrician's on-site guide 2011 (Kennington OX1) Gifted 2011 edition, a lot of the values are unchanged in later editions, so will probably suit anyone performing basic domestic wiring changes.
