Rollers and belt from a dismantled machine (Fareham PO15)
Expired
These parts came from a machine which moved the belt round the rollers. The moving part of each roller is about 55mm tall, and spins very freely. Each one is attached to a mount about 40mm long. Surely there must be some inventor out there who can re-purpose them. They are beautifully made and it would be a shame to dump them.

Water lily plants (Fareham PO15)
Withdrawn
Fast growing water lily giving white flowers with a yellow centre. Every spring I take it out of the pond, cut it up, and put a small piece back. These are the offcuts. They will be in water when you collect them, so please bring your own bucket.

Yellow iris plants (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
These are offcuts from yellow irises that have been growing in a pond, but they are just as happy in soil as in water. They grow to about 50cm tall, and flower in summer. They will be wet when you collect them so please bring your own bucket.

Car battery charger. For spares or tinkering. (Fareham PO15)
Withdrawn
Selmar "Startrite" 12V battery charger. Buzzes promisingly when plugged in, but doesn't give any output. It might be repairable if anyone wants to tinker with it, or it might contain some usable spares.

Rechargeable screwdriver (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
Challenge rechargeable screwdriver, with charger and various styles of screwdriver bit, in a plastic case. It still works, but has one fault. The handle is supposed to swivel but is jammed. When you press the orange button it should be possible to move it through 90 degrees, but it is stuck in the position shown in the picture.

Free:
FM radio. For tinkering or spares. (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
The radio does work but the volume control is very crackly so you wouldn't want to use it as it is. I hope somebody who likes tinkering will be able to save it from the dump.

Mitre maker. Cutting guide for saws (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
Copydex Mitre Maker. This is a gadget from the 1970s before everyone had power tools. If you are cutting mitres by hand, it's still a useful tool. You can set the guide to any angle, not just 90 or 45 and lock it in position. Your saw then moves between rollers that keep it upright.

Elfa wire basket storage system. (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
Elfa storage system. Metal frame with wire baskets that slide out like drawers. Size is about 55cm square, 145cm tall. The photo makes it look as though it is bent, but that's just the angle it was taken from. It's quite square, and sound, but a bit rusty in places. Not smart enough to live indoors, but could still be useful in a shed. It all dismantles for transport and will fit in any car.
