VHS tapes (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Off chance someone still has a VHS & interest in old TV shows--not sure what's in here, some are mine, some a former roommate's. Would rather recycle than add to the landfill (anyone know of recyclers of VHS tapes?)

Wooden pizza paddle (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Promised About 16x14 inches, looked like a good yardsale buy but we never used it. Still in original shrinkwrap, small tear @ top, food-contact surface fully covered.

Raised dog bed (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Elevated dog bed, 41X27 inches. I received this for my senior dog but she refuses to use it so I'm passing it on It's used but in good shape, washed but a little weathered (it was kept on a deck).

Packing paper (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Large box of clean packing paper (used to ship prescription dog food). Dog & cat in house. Can also be used for mulch to keep down weeds around plants.

34d

clean cardboard boxes (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 4 standard medium-size packing boxes, contained prescription pet food. Also one smaller flat box, about the size of a folded blanket and a large box 2x3 feet, 18" deep. If I had kids this would be a good 'imagination' toy.

80d

no-pesticide peppermint perennial (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired PEPPERMINT PLANTS... we finally cleaned them out from where they weren't needed. They make a wonderful herb tea or potpourri, and you only have to plant them ONCE. If you're smarter than I was, you'll plant them IN A POT.

SEEDLINGS - tomato & pepper (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted More than I can use in my own garden. Young plants, various varieties. Cherokee purple mostly, also sweet pepper varieties. I've grown them all before & they do well in Waterloo region climate. Please let me know whether you'd like tomato or pepper (or both) and when you could pick up. I'd like to share with as many as possible. You can grow any of these plants in a typical 5-gallon bucket.

Pink bleeding heart plant (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Showed up in a planter box and I need the space for other things. Will bloom this season if transplanted carefully. VERY shade-tolerant to moderate sun.

Battered veteran outdoor table (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 63x38 inches, was white but now weathered. 8+ years old. I've been using it as a potting bench/dog-toy storage. It's still sturdy. For grubby outside work, it's ready to go; however, a coat of paint for outdoor resin would brighten it up. I used Rustoleum on a chair of a similar resin and am still using it. I would paint the table but it's always been too big for my space and I found something that's a better fit. There's a small piece chipped from one edge (I kept that against a wall.) Disassembled, top is clumsy but not heavy, I'm an old lady & can lift it easily.

LILY OF THE VALLEY plants (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Ours have had a growth spurt and there are far more than we need. A great ground cover for shade areas. I'll do fair-chance but that's hardly necessary, there are dozens. Re 'family friendly,' this is a poisonous plant so kids should be old enough to understand DO NOT EAT.

Packing boxes & houseplant (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 4 medium/large cardboard boxes used to ship canned dog food -- heavy duty, 20"x12"x13" Clean and reusable

2-3 kg Large Breed Puppy Food (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Fromm Gold Large Breed Puppy Food. My not-so little rescue pup has decided she's a Big Girl (true) and prefers the adult food. I hope somebody can use it.

333d

Aloe Vera offshoots (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired My aloe plant throws off new seedings every so often, and I have one now established & ready for a new sunny windowsill. This is the traditional aloe used for burns and mild abrasions. It's too small to use yet (it'll probably be at least 6 months to a year) but might be a nice small gift for a plant lover (or yourself!)

Baby Jade PLants (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired One seedling left from my fecund jade plant's last pupping This is traditionally an 'auspicious' plant said to attract prosperity. These are TINY seedlings, about 2" high, but they can grow to a pretty large plant--a good long-term houseplant because that can take years. Typical succulent, needs good light and drainage but really easy keepers. Might be a good holiday present for a plant lover.

Jade plant seedlings (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired My jade plant has dropped more pups. This is traditionally an 'auspicious' plant said to attract prosperity. I'm trying to contact the person who took one earlier but this site has erased all posts more than 90 days old. These are TINY seedlings, but they can grow to a pretty large plant--a good long-term houseplant because that can take years. Typical succulent, needs good light and drainage but really easy keepers. Might be a good holiday present for a plant lover.

Sealy twin mattress (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted A few years old but super-clean (mattress cover used all the time) DOGS AND CATS IN HOUSEHOLD, though. I bought a firmer one; this might not be firm enough for a full-size adult but should be fine for children or young teens--or a stretch-out-and-relax bed for a REALLY BIG DOG.

Double bicycle carrier basket (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted This is an older item, two baskets with a metal strap that holds them on a bike's rear luggage rack. I'm retired from bike riding but these have a lot of service left and are great for short grocery runs. 7"x14"x12" deep. Galvanized

rose of sharon seedlings (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Either white w/burgundy heart or pink w/dark pink heart. No idea which, both self-seeded. I have at least half a dozen, will dig them up when requested. Please suggest pickup time. These are 1-2 years old and will probably bloom next summer. Canada-hardy hibiscus, loved by hummingbirds & pollinators, makes a gorgeous hedge that can be trimmed or small tree 10-15 feet tall.

CLEAN MOVING BOXES - medium size (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted We get prescription pet food delivered for our senior dog & it comes in sturdy boxes. I've got 2 assembled boxes offer is first-come - Anyone moving soon?

Fresh Peppermint herb - NO SPRAYS (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Size various, color green. I planted one little peppermint years ago and it's a mint.. it's trying to take over. I'd also be delighted to re-home rooted plants. Makes great tea and nice accent in salad.

CLEAN MOVING BOXES - medium size (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Someone asked for moving boxes and I responded, offered, and arranged pickup. Receiver failed to pick up and did not tell me until much later in the day that she'd found some elsewhere. SO ... if anyone is moving, or sorting out old household stuff - I've got 2 assembled boxes, 3 flattened ones, and 4 medium-size (case of apple juice.) offer is first-come because there's now a heap of cardboard boxes on my porch. Anyone moving soon?

Baby Jade & Bleeding Heart seedling (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Jade plant is very small (a cm or two) but with potential to be a good-size houseplant. NOT big enough to leave outdoors at this point (full-growbn, they can summer outside but can't survive our winters.) ALSO: bleeding heart plants (new this season but perennials, will grow to laundry-basket size and Rose of Sharon seedlings (white or pink, not sure which they are, we have both.) MANY Rose of Sharon and several bleeding-heart seedings.

high-efficiency light bulbs (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 2 packages of 6 Sylvania 14-watt, 60 watt equivalent high-efficiency bulbs, one set bulb-shape, one set old-style curly. Clearing out utility closet, more than we need. Will gift separately.

Salvageable parts of a baby crib (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired This may be an odd one, but I'm looking for the railing sections of a baby crib that is no longer safe for an infant. We adopted a rescue pup and figured that once she was house-trained we could put the crate away, but she *likes* the den space even if the cat sometimes uses it. So rather than have this big metal cage in the living room, I'm hoping to find pieces of a crib that I can repurpose as a sort of playpen for the pup. Anybody out there with a few too-good-to-trash but not safe for a kid pieces & parts? Thanks!

garden hose (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 25 foot garden hose in good working condition, we replaced it with a longer size.
