Request: wooden cupboard doorknobs (West Marina TN38) Anyone got lots of these to get rid of? I'd need 13-16, all the same size & shape, doesn't really matter about finish as I'd paint them. Thanks!

20h

Free: Window privacy film (West Marina TN38) Expired Bamboo pattern. It's the stuff you wet on the back and then smooth onto the pane. Just found this random piece. 75cm high x 50 wide, which might be of use for somethng.

79d

Free: Bundle of good kids' clothes (West Marina TN38) Expired Kids' (boys?) clothes, dumped on the pavement outside my house but otherwise clean, most in good condition, ages 10-13? Jeans and other bottoms, various tops. Had to rescue them cos it looks like rain! Anyone want to nab them before I take them to the charity shop?

83d

Free: Large size microwave turntable (West Marina TN38) Gifted Plus the wheely thing that goes under it. 34cm diameter, which is the larger size.

103d

Free: Hardcore (West Marina TN38) Expired Box of broken tiles, left outside for easy collection. (Some floor, some wall, all broken but none previously used, so could also be used for actual tiling!)

193d

Free: Old rusty microwave (West Marina TN38) Expired Any use to anyone? As far as I know it does actually work but you can see that it's quite badly rusted inside; the charity shop won't sell it. It's also missing the rotating plate.

196d

Free: Nice rustic style wall tiles (West Marina TN38) Expired Muted, textured colours, wavy edges. Plus three more with missing corners. 15cm/6" square.

210d

Request: Cafe tables and/or chairs (West Marina TN38) Expired Cafe furniture needed by a newish cafe in Hastings. Let me know and I'll pass it on!

268d

Free: PRESCRIPTION swimming goggles (West Marina TN38) Gifted Anyone want to rescue these from whatever inappropriate fate they’re likely to meet if I try to donate them elsewhere? They are used (in the sea) but clean and in good condition. They have a prescription of +8 (not a typo) so are really useful if you’re that short sighted. An extremely bad idea if you’re not! Pass it on- I’m happy to post them.

306d

Free: Packing materials (West Marina TN38) Expired Bubble wrap etc, mostly small bits, biggest would do a book. Mid-sized pieces of brown paper, most in good condition, and tissue paper, most quite tatty. Padded envelopes, all used, most smallish. Anyone got a move to pack for?

355d

Free: wall planters (West Marina TN38) Expired Two plastic teraccotta coloured and one big black-painted metal one. Used. The metal one also has a bit missing but that shouldn't affect use (and could probably be fixed)

Free: plant pots etc, most for indoors (West Marina TN38) Expired Box of plastic inner pots, plus the green thing which used to have a 'stone' finish and is more of an outdoor one. A few ceramic/ glass houseplant pots, including a bowl. The yellow bin has holes in the bottom because it was used as a very small compost bin. It could be a plant pot. Ideally to go together, but let me know what you want. Update: the little house thing is promised.

Free: Historic Sussex map (West Marina TN38) Expired Anyone want to rescue this local artefact from the recycle bin?! It's not in great condition, damp stains all around the outside. It threw itself off the wall the other day so the frame may also be on the way out, although probably fixable. Take it for the frame, I don't mind.

Free: Mature spider plants (West Marina TN38) Expired I have far too many! Here are three of them. Take the pots too if you’d like them.

1y

Free: Box of random broken wall tiles (West Marina TN38) Expired All either pieces or chipped. Lots of cream, fair bit of white, some blue and green, bit of black. I hear they make good hardcore...

1y

Free: Glossy beige tiles (West Marina TN38) Expired 4 nice, neutral marbled beige gloss ceramic tiles. Large format, 33 x 24.5 cms without allowing for grout. There’s a fifth with flaws on the long edges which you can take or leave. Splashback?

Free: Dinky Little 2-Seater Sofa (West Marina TN38) Gifted Maybe this would fit in your shed or beach hut? It's 135cm wide, which is tiny, I bought it for a one-room studio flat. It does have a fire certificate, except for the cream under-cushion which you don't have to take. The fabric has the odd little hole. It's currently in the front of my garage which you can drive right up to for easy collection.

Free: Set of pots for herbs and spices (West Marina TN38) Expired Glass, plastic lids, in a black plastic stand.

1y

Free: Ice cream CONE maker (West Marina TN38) Expired Left by the bins at 128 West Hill Road. Unused, in box. NB, this makes those posh ‘artisanal’ cones. It doesn’t make the ice cream (which is why I didn’t nab it myself). Might be of use to someone who already makes ice cream? Let me know if you’d like me to rescue it for you.

1y

Free: Broken floor tiles- brown marl (West Marina TN38) Expired Lots of these brown/grey floor tiles going, all broken. The originals were 30x30cms if that helps you guess how much coverage is here. I think the pic may make them look lighter than they actually are. They were called 'grey' but they're definitely not.

1y

Free: Glass jars & bottles (West Marina TN38) Expired Clean. 5x pesto jars, 6xpnb, one mayo. Green glass wine bottle, 2x tiny clear glass bottles. Let me know if you’d like me to hold any of them back from recycling for you !

1y

Free: AEG car vac, long cord (West Marina TN38) Gifted Took this from a lovely freegler but don't need it anymore. It's all there, but I have a feeling there may be a pinhole in the hose. I never used the hose bit - it worked OK as a handheld. Maybe not super-powerful.

1y

Free: Cordless electric kettle, broken pouring spout (West Marina TN38) Expired Quite old but a good kettle until I dropped it and smashed the plastic spout... Still works. Any use to anyone?

1y

Free: normal rechargeable batteries (West Marina TN38) Expired Four AAs, four AAAs. Honestly, I'm offering these because I find them a bit rubbish, but if the person who was looking for rechargeable batteries is still looking, maybe worth a try?

1y

Free: shower heads and bits (West Marina TN38) Gifted Couple of shower heads, one extra big, one normal 'telephone' style. Also a plastic hanging organiser and a little valve you can install to reduce the amount of water you use.

1y

Free: plastic produce boxes (West Marina TN38) Expired Don't even know what these are called. The kind you get mushrooms from the supermarket in. Mix of depths. Anyone have a use before they all go in the recycling?

1y

Free: Pair women's canvas shoes (West Marina TN38) Gifted A sort of slate-ish blue. Size 39. Good condition - the soles are barely worn but the uppers could use a clean.

1y

Free: Bosch Athlet vacuum cleaner plus extra dust container (West Marina TN38) Gifted Technically this is working but the batteries are worn out and the replacements are pretty expensive, so maybe more use for spares? Complete with charger; also an extra set of the dust container and all the bits inside that. I found it pretty handy to have a spare set.

1y

Free: Pair of bokashi compost bins (West Marina TN38) Gifted Anyone thinking of trying bokashi composting? These two are all present and correct, with little taps at the bottom to drain off the 'tea' and a little bit of the 'bran' starter. Taken apart so I could give them a good clean - they're still a tiny bit whiffy but not too bad!

1y

Free: Rechargeable batteries (West Marina TN38) Gifted Someone was looking for some on here but I can't find the post now. Three of these are the cells from inside a plastic laptop battery - the case was broken so they were never used. You might know what to do with them. If no-one does, they'll go in the electrical recycling, which seems a bit of a waste. Plus four each of 'normal' rechargeable AAs and AAAs.
