Free: Pedal exerciser (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Aka a mini exercise bike; work at your desk while getting some exercise! Has adjustable resistance and digital display. To be honest, I spotted it on the curb a couple months ago and was surprised to find that it seems to be fully functional. I brought it home and cleaned it, hoping my husband could use it to build up some strength, but he’s just not a fan. So - now hoping to rehome it via this platform. Any takers? :)

Free: Vintage Mucha poster (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Beautiful reproduction of this Art Nouveau classic image, printed on heavy-weight, fabric-like paper. Had spent the greater part of its life in a tube in the attic- which has kept it in great condition, but it should be out making someone’s space beautiful. Measures ~20” x ~26”.

Free: Large quantity of loose green tea (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Given to us by a friend a couple years ago; yes, it's been opened and sampled but tightly sealed ever since. Turns out green tea just isn't my thing, but I have a hard time simply throwing away this much of anything. I think it's probably still good. Any green tea lovers who want to give it a try?

Free: 2 under-cabinet lights (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Two fluorescent lights, 18” long, 4” wide; have mounting holes in both the tops and the back sides (2nd photo). Both in good working condition.

Free: Handheld microphone (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted An Audiotechnica, PRO 2AX microphone... sorry, I have no way to hook it up and see if it works. No cables or anything, just the microphone pictured.

Free: Catalyst cat litter (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted A “new fangled” cat litter made of wood: wonderfully light, smells great, supposed to be good for the environment (?) - but my cats just couldn’t (or wouldn’t - ha!) get used to it, so I finally gave up. Combined the last two bags to make an almost-full bag (= ~20 lbs). Can anyone use it?

Free: Chest Freezer (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Hi folks - I appreciate all the responses, but this item is now “promised”. The recipient can’t pick up until the weekend, which is why the post is still here. Very sorry for the confusion and having to disappoint so many people. Chest freezer in fine working condition, just no longer needed. Newly defrosted and clean as the proverbial whistle. Dimensions: 41.25”(wide) x 22” (deep) x 34” (high). Heavy but not ridiculously so, just very bulky. Taker has to be able to get it out of our basement and transport it.

Free: Wrapping and packing paper (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Another “clean out the attic!” project, this time... - Wrapping paper: paper and tissue, partial rolls and small pieces, some of the tissue paper never even opened, all seasons. - A big roll of the sort of paper I think you’d use for packing things for shipping (?). I have no idea where it came from but it needs to go to someone who will actually use it! :)

Free: Curb alert: furniture (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Withdrawn Two chairs, two-person sofa, coffee table on the curb directly across from 169 Dartmouth St. They are there as of 2:45pm on 3/29/25. First come first get! (Not mine, just posting what I saw)

81d

Free: PC keyboard (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Withdrawn Pretty old-fashioned, I guess, but can anyone use this? Works great, clean and ready to use.

Free: 11 rolls of black iron-on adhesive (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted 7/8” wide, each roll is 10 yd long. Ordered for a project... then project manager changed their mind and Michael’s is being too much of a pain to pursue returning them. Please, make both of our days by taking all these things off my hands!

Free: 2021 Fire 10" Tablet - PROMISED (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Folks - I’m very sorry, but this item is promised, and there are Many people in line if this person doesn’t show. I feel so guilty about disappointing so many people - please don’t send any more messages asking about it. // 10" Amazon Fire tablet with charging cable and case. In perfect working condition; ready to be initialized by new owner. Special advantage of this slightly older tablet: you can still install Google apps on it (e.g., Gmail, Google Maps, etc.) This is not possible on any of the later versions.

Free: Tiny bluetooth speaker (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Tiny (about 2" square) bluetooth speaker, with recharging cord and instructions. Never used.

Free: Logitech Slim Folio iPad Pro case (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Full name is “Slim Folio Pro for iPad Pro”; this is a case with just a keyboard (no touch pad) that fits a 12.9” 5th generation iPad (and likely any 12.9 iPad). Color is Oxford Grey. The iPad holding part of the case connects to a magnetic strip, holding the screen up at a good angle. There is a “flap” to hold an Apple Pencil in place, and provide a magnetic closure. Only about a year old; in like-new condition. The reason I got a different one was that this one runs off your iPad battery, and I found it kinda ran the battery down faster than I liked. So I got one that has its own power, and has to be plugged in from time to time - for some reason that works better for me. Would love to find the previous one a good home, though!

Free: Hunting wear for small person (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Expired LL Bean warm fleece jacket size small, ditto vest, two types of hat, license holder, camo pants (waist 27, inseam 29). All in near-to-new condition. Not used in several years, but stored in a bag with pine branches to keep them smelling “outdoorsy.” (Previously included “gear” has been promised)

Free: Handmade paper scrap book (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted ...with 3-D elephant head on the cover! Given to us years and years ago, probably meant for photos (not sure if you can see in photo 5: the pages are all embossed with triangles as if to hold photos). Endpapers (photos 4 and 8) are beautiful examples of texture-y, handmade paper; pages are all "rough" edged (they're actually very soft; photo 6), and the cover is just... very special. Hoping a crafty person can give this beautiful object a good home, and Put It To Work! Holding memorabilia, special moments, something.

Free: Targus Laptop Cooling Stand (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted (AKA "Chill Mat", Laptop Cooling Pad) An angled support for your laptop with a built in fan (what 2nd photo is trying to show), connects to your laptop with a USB-A connector. Had it for years but seldom use it, so still in like new condition.

Free: 3-ring binder gizmos (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Expired (Sorry, that title isn’t very useful but Trashnothing said “3-ring binder magazine holders” was too long). So: 1) The package on the right is definitely a gizmo for putting magazines or other booklets (slim softcover music books comes to mind) into 3-ring binders without any damage to the things being bindered (and allowing you to take them out/swap contents anytime). Despite being open, package still contains all of the original 12 holders. P 2) Package on left is a bit different: these are 3-hole punched strips of plastic with a sticky tape, for permanently attaching things you don’t want to punch holes in but want to put into binders. Of the original 25, there are still 22 of them.

Free: Vintage computer mice (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Expired Pretty silly, but maybe someone likes old fashioned stuff like this :) Two LogiTech mice (mouses?) that are powered by regular tiny batteries (not lithium); one red, one silver with a little zippered case; Bluetooth. Other one is a Kensington plug in. Unable to test to see if they still work, so no guarantees (sorry).

Free: Writable CDs (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Expired My husband bought these years ago with the idea of using them as a “back up everything” method. Did it with a few and lost interest. I realize these are probably pretty outdated technology by now, but can anyone use them? If not for their original purpose, perhaps as art? Coasters? ;)

337d

Free: 4 Tiki Torches with fuel & wicks (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Four tiki torches for your yard; fun on these beautiful summer evenings! Owned for many years but not used much, in reasonable shape: one post is cracked a bit at the bottom (see final photo) and is missing its "shut off cap," and the string attaching one of the other caps disintegrated (so the cap is still here, just not attached - photo 3). Comes with an almost full bottle of fuel and two replacement wicks.

Free: 25" square folding drying net (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Expired Nifty little drying surface for things like sweaters, or anything marked "dry flat." White mesh net (first photo looks wild, I guess my phone camera can't handle the idea of tiny mesh; see detail in the last photo to get the right idea of what this is like). Just a light little frame (about 8" high) that unfolds, stretch the top over and there you are. I had to mend one of the corner grommets but the mend seems to be holding up well. When not in use, folds flat and takes up almost no space.

Free: Cast iron skillet (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Many years old, but ready for many more years of service for a chef that understands about “seasoning” cast iron cookware like this. 10” wide, about 3” deep.

Free: Decorative garden edging- 10’ kit (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Turns out this item just doesn’t quite work for my garden. I tried one section (and bruised it a bit in the process, see closeup in last photo), rest is untouched. It’s plastic, and flexible enough to be used on a curve if needed.

Free: Robot fish cat toy (with bowl!) (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Very cute, and “swimming” movement is fascinating for kitties. Mine had many hours of fun with them. But then the batteries ran down, and despite a fresh set of batteries and the tool needed to install them being included, I just don’t feel equal to the challenge of figuring that out (ha! I guess I really am getting old!). Hoping there’s a cat owner with nimbler fingers out there who would like these. :)

360d

Free: Patterned chiffon skirt - XS (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Expired A Coldwater Creek item from back in the days when they had brick-and-mortar stores and really *nice* clothing. Pink/blue/yellow pattern outer layer, cream liner, both chiffon and "floaty." Has tiny string self-belt with beads at the ends (close up in the 2nd photo is trying to show that). Zipper, hook and button closure. Size X-Small, waist measures 29". Another item that I just love... but don't reach for, sadly. So - time for it to go to someone who will wear it and enjoy it! :)

Free: LuLaRoe "Lola" skirt M Pink (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Solid deep pink, pull-on LuLaRoe chiffon skirt (known as a "Lola"). Size M, elastic waistband in a pretty sort of lavender-blue. Waist measures 30" un-stretched. Lined. Lovely and floaty. I adore this skirt but I just don't reach for it, so it needs to go to someone who will WEAR it and enjoy it (and the compliments you'll get! :).

Free: Weed whacker - **Not** cordless (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Expired Black & Decker weed whacker; many years old but hasn't ever been used much, in fine working condition. Requires one of those big long orange extension cords (sorry, not included). Only reason we're giving it away is that we've gotten old and tired, and have been moving more and more to cordless power tools.

Free: Assortment of small clay pots (Park-Monroe Neighborhood) Gifted Small clay pots. Two (the ones at each end of the line in the photo) have some glazing; they are designed to be hanging pots - have holes for string/macrame-type hangers.

1y

Free: Partial cans of paint (Downtown Rochester) Gifted 8 gallon cans and 11 small to medium cans of paint, of varying fullness but seems like enough to be useful for *something.* From a community theatre group, used for painting sets and such: quite a few light colors (white, peachy-beige, pinkish, light and medium-ish blues), some darker (green, dark blue, couple small containers with dark brown/black dots on top). I'd love for someone to get some use out of them! (And save me a trip to EcoPark! ;). Note that the pick-up location will be where they are currently stored, at Downtown United Presbyterian Church (near City Hall and Hochstein Music School).
