Free: Music cassettes about 80 (The Camp AL1) All years old and third hand if you take. Mostly prerecorded classical esp instrumentals, some home tapings. You can even select type you want. Reluctant to part with but never listen now. Free cassette holders thrown in if wanted, just need dusting. If you live within 3 miles I may be able to drop off by bike or you can get bus along London road by arrangement. Not keen on people making special trips by car. Give phone number for quicker arrangements please. I see the site once a day usually. Doug

6h

Request: Wind-up clock (The Camp AL1) I prefer alarm clock but no response to earlier post. Can collect by bike locally. Phone number helps. I don't want batteries

2d

Free: CD towers (The Camp AL1) Apologies for poor photo. Perfectionists need not apply. One is about 5 ft and made of very pliable wood apparently with a solid base. Some of it is bent out of shape but maybe can be bent back in shape. Likewise the two made of metal with a wooden bit holding together but not well based on floor. All dusty. I don't like people driving specially to collect what they've not requested on freegle but I'm by the 602 bus stop in London road or you can tell me if you drive here anyway so no fuel wasted. Take one or more. Give phone number for quickest response after I check the site daily. Thanks for reading. Doug

2d

Free: Scrabble set (The Camp AL1) Gifted 100 pieces and board and 4 tile racks. Not perfect but need to rinse the tiles. Box isn't included as damaged. Also oddly I have 7 tiles from another set and they form a word! See picture. I can put in a carrier bag and bring to you by bike locally 3 miles weather permitting. Ideally give me a number to arrange quicker. Thanks. Doug

2d

Free: Paper to write on (The Camp AL1) Been hanging around years and I can't use it all. I don't want anyone driving here but you can get a bus to London road or in St Albans I can deliver, by bike, health permitting. It may not all be perfect but usable.

4d

Free: Rear wheel of bike (The Camp AL1) Sorry I can't see size possibly 27in but you need to check if coming. Rusty and worn but probably usable as stopgap. Nobody responded to front wheels which I took as scrap. Maybe this is more useful to someone. I prefer that nobody drives here to look at it unless coming along London road anyway or you could get bus here but not if fares high as it may be wrong size etc. Give phone number if wanting quicker collection. I'm out part of the day most days. Can leave outside with sufficient notice

7d

Request: Bicycle bell (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn The one I have won't attach to the handlebars now and it's hard to estimate size to ask for missing screw. Helps if you give a number to arrange collection in St Albans if you have one. Thanks Doug

9d

Free: Monopoly board game (The Camp AL1) Gifted Two boards. One folds up but neither is perfect after years of disuse. Looks like the contents are complete. I can deliver within 3 miles by bike if you want to arrange by text more quickly than otherwise. Need to declutter. BTW I am in London road but trying to get freegle volunteers to show this rather than the Camp which is nearby

9d

Free: 2 wooden tables: choose one (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn The first has no legs so supply your own. The top is probably something other than wood, smooth and just needs cleaning quickly but not done as headed for recycling centre. The second has legs but is about 70 years old and could be covered or worked on to create coffee table or storage place or use in shed etc. I'm not happy with people driving specifically but if you pass London road we can arrange easier by text if you give me your number. Both could be recycled very soon if I find a driver as I have lots of scrap wood to go for recycling just now

13d

Free: Electric iron (The Camp AL1) Gifted I actually have 3 and never used in decades. They all warm up plugged in but one doesn't light up so maybe you should have the others. Not guaranteed safe so I will dispose of if no takers. Don't drive here, I will deliver locally if you give phone number

25d

Free: Draughts set (The Camp AL1) Gifted Complete, unused for decades. Can deliver locally within 3 miles by bike, weather permitting. Not too bad condition. (Arrange more quickly with your phone number?)

25d

Free: Bike front wheels 26in (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn I have hoarded too many of these in case needed but taking too much space. Most from mountain bikes. Prefer that people don't drive here specially. On London road between St Albans and London Colney by a bus stop. Best to give a number to arrange viewing. Take one or several. Should be usable. No tyres, rim tapes or tubes offered but usually size 1.75 to 2in. Willing to wait till you are passing this way

27d

Free: Plastic wallets for ring binder maybe 100 (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn Mostly reasonable but many are a bit creased but still usable. More than I'm likely to use. If you give phone number it may be quicker, as I only log in daily. I can deliver locally by bike 3 miles or so. (Not keen on any driving to come here specially). Take a few or more

42d

Request: Wind-up alarm clock (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn Mine from a freegler has served reasonably well for a few years but less reliable now. Will cycle to collect weather permitting within about four miles around St Albans Easier if you give phone number. Thanks Doug

60d

Free: Freestanding electric 3-bar fire (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn Not needed or used in about 30 years. Used to be OK but WARNING you probably need to replace the lead as it's badly frayed and could be dangerous. Dusty. About two foot square at front. Sorry I don't dare test it now, you should try outdoors. I'm on London road between St Albans and London Colney so if you drive this way I can wait till convenient or you could use bus stop 30 yards away. Prefer you don't drive far in case it's no good.

64d

Free: Glossy paper A4, loads (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn Reasonable condition used one side only . Willing to deliver by bike if local. Helpful if you give phone number. Doug

68d

Free: Glossy paper used one side only (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn Reasonable condition. Willing to deliver by bike if local. Trying to declutter despite lack of response to other posts. A phone number helps if you can provide

68d

Free: Dyno torch (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn Red, manually operated. Not working but may just need a new bulb. Can deliver locally. I have a working one so can give the broken one. Phone number helps if possible. Doug

70d

Free: Front wheels for mountain bike (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn Not too bad but I've kept more than I am likely to need and they're in the way. I don't want people driving here to view but happy to let cyclists check whether suitable. I don't know how to measure the rim width etc but most are 26inch. No tubes, no tyres , sorry. If I have a phone number I can arrange more easily.

77d

Request: Manual paper shredder (The Camp AL1) Received Trying to clear paperwork!

88d

Request: Mains cassette player (The Camp AL1) Received Needs to be smallish to carry on bike and quite local 4 miles radius. My machines don't work now and I want to check which tapes to keep while trying to declutter my tiny property. Thanks for reading

132d

Request: Single Mattress (The Camp AL1) Received My mattress needs replacing ASAP. Emmaus can't help at the moment. Problem would be that I need help transporting it to London Road as I don't drive. If you can help, a mobile number will speed up the process as I only check freegle once a day usually. Thanks Doug

153d

Request: Hi viz jacket with long sleeves (The Camp AL1) Received I cycle for exercise and have used one for visibility but it's now slightly torn. A company logo doesn't matter as I can wear it inside out. Can collect by bike weather permitting within maybe 4 mile radius. If you give mobile number it speeds up communication. I check this site daily usually. Thanks for reading

168d

Free: Clear hard plastic CD covers (The Camp AL1) Expired They could do with a rinse in some cases. About 100, take as many or as few as you want. I don't want collection by car but will leave by your house locally say 3 miles and when weather allows as I cycle for exercise and it helps reduce pollution etc

271d

Request: Superglue or similar for shoe (The Camp AL1) Expired I have footwear that fits very well but soles coming loose. Online search says I need something with elasticity and maybe epoxy glue but anything to save them from landfill. I can collect by bike locally and possibly Watford direction on 16th when I have to go there . Ideally give me a phone number to arrange by text please. Thanks Doug

1y

Request: Air purifier (The Camp AL1) Expired Never had one but hope I could get it home on bike with rucksack and it's becoming a health issue not having one. Ideally please give phone number

1y

Request: Small mobile for pay as you go (The Camp AL1) Expired I have tried to get a new battery in vain so far. I think the sim is the largest size. I will cycle over weather permitting. Please let me have your number for quick arrangements. The phone is for emergency like losing the smartphone Thanks.

1y

Request: Old style Samsung battery (The Camp AL1) Expired I don't use ebay etc and I don't know how to post pictures but I can't get a replacement battery for my old emergency phone which folds over and is very small. If you have something that works and may be usable when charged, I could cycle over locally and see if it fits the phone. Local phone shops can't help. Needed when I have to call my main smartphone if mislaid. Please provide a number for quick contact Thanks.

1y

Request: Telescopic roof rake (The Camp AL1) Expired Leaves gather on the roof of my ground floor property and I cannot easily get on the roof to stop leaks caused by these. I can't find anywhere to buy one locally without online purchase. I think 18 foot long is the kind of thing.
