Free: Bosch Tassimo coffee maker (Eastfield YO11) Expired Well used, but it stopped being used much after a pod split and coated the machine in coffee grounds and then ran out of pods, it's been given several cleans but you can probably still find grounds in some of the crevices, it will also need a new water filter, it uses the Brita maxtra filters, it has a cleaning disk, but if you want to clean it properly you really need to take the nozzle apart and scrub it

Free: Crate of basic kitchen items (Eastfield YO11) Expired I have a crate of kitchen items for anyone, it's a real mixture but could be good for anyone starting out, preferably to go as one unit. Not a comprehensive list but there are 2 large and a small frying pans, a dolmeo pasta bake dish, a couple of serving trays, large IKEA casserole/stock pot, small coffee press, half a dozen plastic microwave bowls, large plastic colender and a couple of spatulas, I think there are a couple more bits but not sure

Free: 4 sheets of blue eps (Eastfield YO11) Gifted I have 4 sheets of extruded polystyrene sheet, this is not the expanded polystyrene you get around electrical goods, its the solid stuff for craft projects, all the sheets are about 2 foot by 4 foot, I think 1.is 10mm thick, 2 are 20mm and the last one is 40mm, I can't find a tape measure for exact size. A few dings and scrapes as they were bought about 9 or 10 years ago for a craft project that I am never going to do, so hopefully someone can give them a job to do. Preferably to go as a single lot or can split if needed

Free: Rowing Machine (Eastfield YO11) Expired Just a simple machine, was then split into the two main body parts for ease of transport and storage, as such in two parts it will fit into most cars, you will just need an Allan key (not sure if its 6 or 8 mm) to put it back together

Free: Inflatable double mattress (Eastfield YO11) Gifted Bought years ago for a specific use but it never got used or taken out of the box

Free: Beurer tens belt (Eastfield YO11) Expired Got given this several years ago, I have never used it myself as for some reason the manufacturers think only slim people have back pain, so it only goes up to about 40 or so inch waist with an extension. It is an integral unit and requires 3 aaa batteries and only uses moisture for the electrical connection
Free: 2 tens machines (Eastfield YO11) Expired I can either split or give them as a pair, both working condition, require aa batteries, I can't use them anymore because I have become very allergic to the adhesive used in the pads and can't find any that don't use the glue, and the last experiment with glueless pads caused 2nd degree electrical burns, so it's either throw them or give them away
Free: Teddy bear cat bed (Eastfield YO11) Expired Offered for the same reason as the cat food yesterday, here is a cat bed I got him, he took one sniff and looked at me as if to say "and?" He then jumped in the nearest empty box and acted like it was the best thing in the world, so here it is

Free: Load of cat food catpain picky refused (Eastfield YO11) Gifted I have a carrier bag full of cat food my furry suppository refuses to eat, there are a several cans each of whiskas and tiger, two and a bit boxes of harringtons pouches and a couple of other pouches, all in date, I would be happy to give it to him, if he didn't just sit there squeaking until I gave in and chucked it and gave him his favourite
Free: HD USB Webcam x 2 (Eastfield YO11) Expired Back in 2020 I got a couple of webcams, partially because they were like hens teeth, but mainly because I had an idea for one of those projects, the wonderful idea that you mean to do this week, but 6 years later I might as well give up and free the space, if anyone wants one or both
Free: manual wheelchair (Eastfield YO11) Expired just got a new wheelchair and not got the space to store my old emergency spare manual wheelchair, so thought i would see if anyone can make use of it before doing something else with it, not sure of the exact size of the seat, but it is very snug fit for larger adults
Free: Resmed airfit f10 cpap mask (Eastfield YO11) Expired Don't know if anyone can use this, I swapped to a different mask shape that fits me better, I was advised by the nhs to throw it away as its a prescription device all they would do, is incinerate it even though it is still sealed, so rather than throw it away it's here
Free: 3 cans of shaving foam (Eastfield YO11) Expired three unstarted cans of shaving foam, one is a gillette sensitive I think I got 6 or more years ago, it has just been sat on a shelf ever since, the other two are nivea one is missing a little clear plastic cap, as I don't use this sort of shaving consumables anymore all they are going to do is sit in my bathroom and rust, so if anyone can use them they are welcome
Free: air conditioning unit (Eastfield YO11) Expired Yes I know it seems to be a bit strange to be offering this now, but I have a portable airconditioner, it can also doubles up as a dehumidifier, it is missing the exit hose connector out of the back, I tried to sort one but then just bodged it with a smaller one and some gaffer tape, it also had a remote control. Bad points are that when it says portable and while it has wheels they are tiny little things, it is very heavy and difficult to move, like I said the rear hot air exit hose is bodged. Now the really bad points, before you ask think only this, this thing uses power like crazy and it gets so hot trying to make things cooler it has to shut down the cooling every so often, the air coming out of the exit hose is so hot it melted plastic bits in its way, I just do not have the space to keep it anymore, this is over 1 meter tall and about 50 by 40 cm, you will need a large car and probably two people to carry it
Free: HP Envy Photo 6230 AIO Printer (Eastfield YO11) Gifted Hp All In One, printer and scanner. Full working condition, just the current cartridges have not been used in a while, I tried some Isopropyl alcohol on the heads and they are working now, brand new cartridges (which all come with their own print head) are around £30 for the pair in standard size or £50 for extra high capacity pair, they are hp 303 cartridges, or you can sign up for the hp instant ink service, that is the cartridges currently in the printer which won't work for long without being signed up for that servicel. Wifi or usb connection, you can connect phone, tablet or computer
Free: Russel Hobbs Microwave (Eastfield YO11) Expired Just replaced the microwave with a larger more powerful one, currently in need of a bit of a clean but other than that it is a good working microwave about 4 years old, about 700 watt i think
Free: Bush DAB radio alarm clock (Eastfield YO11) Gifted Good working condition, I just never got on with it as it has multiple functions on each button depending on how long the button is pressed for, like one button changes the mode (am to fm to dab) it also puts the radio on or off standby and turns off the alarm, depending on whether you hold it down for 3, 4 or 5 seconds, when half asleep this is not easy, so it got replaced, it seems a shame to just chuck it, so here it is
Free: Pine sideboard/dresser (Eastfield YO11) Expired solid pine sideboard/dresser, it has two cupboard doors, though there is no divider inside and two draws, the top could probably do with a little attention or leave it as is, I was going to paint it and upcycle it (8 years ago when I got it) it is not a convenient size and shape for me all i used it for was somewhere to put a printer and some storage, you will need a very large car or van to collect it and at least two people to carry it, it is 86 cm (34 inches) tall, 40 cm (16 inch) deep and 92 cm (3 foot) long and quite heavy, currently in a corner behind some stuff so will not be ready to collect for a couple of days so I will give people that long to ask for it
Free: Shelves (Eastfield YO11) Gifted Set Of 5 shelves and rack parts, it includes 3 upright sections that screw to the wall, then the 15 supports for the shelves that can be adjusted up and down and 5 shelves that are each over a meter in length, I can't remember where we got the metal parts but the wood shelves are from b&q. Perfect for a garage or workshop, we originally had these in our spare bedroom as storage but removed for redecorating
Free: Black plastic shelving unit (Eastfield YO11) Gifted 4 shelves, supposed to be able to hold 20kg per shelf but never tested it that far, perfect for garage or shed use
Free: 5 edison screw lightbulbs (Eastfield YO11) Expired I have 5 low energy, at least 1 is an led, light bulbs, some part used some new, left over after swapping to all smart bulbs, all but the small spotlight blub are ikea bulbs there is one led spot bulb with the E14 size attachment, had light use 1 E27 large led spotlight still in the packaging 600 lumen 4 E27 400 lumen bulbs that were for the ikea uplighter, 2 have been used and 2 new one still in the box either all to go together or split if no-one wants them all
Free: 24 inch widescreen HP monitor (Eastfield YO11) Gifted sorting my desk out and with a big monitor its too small for 3, so smallest has to go, it is a Hewlet Packard 24 inch widescreen, with HDMI and VGA inputs
Request: an apple G3 (Eastfield YO11) Expired I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know of or have one of the old apple g3 computers lying around? they were the candy coloured single unit, built as a monitor computers, does not have to be working, or even preferably not working, to use the body as an upcycling project by taking out the old crt and internals and putting in a modern screen and smaller setup in
Request: playstation 1 or 2 (Eastfield YO11) Expired Does anyone happen to have a playstation 1 or 2 gathering dust somewhere, I have a relative who wants to play their old copy of spyro but we don't have a console
Free: Pair of eithernet over power adapters (Eastfield YO11) Expired I was about to put there to go in the recycling, but thought I would see if they are wanted. If you don't know what they are, you use them to extend your network connection through the power cables of your house, they are from before wifi was improved, they were working last time they were used about 9 years ago
Free: 2kg soya wax pellets (Eastfield YO11) Gifted 2kg of eco soya container wax pellets, I think I got this for some mould making craft project several years ago and can't remember what for now, so on offer to anyone who makes moulds or candles
Free: 3 indoor netvue wifi cameras (Eastfield YO11) Gifted I am offering these individually or as a block, if there is any charity or similar that wants to add cctv I would give them priority, but all please read the description these can be used for recording cctv events (I used one on the inside of each of the doors of my property) or as a pet monitor or a baby monitor and send activation alerts to your mobile, they have the correct usb power cables and adaptors good points - decent resolution, record sound as well as vision, the top of the camera can be rotated using the phone app, you can also speak so someone on the other end can hear you, they are good to excellent at recognising humans and ignoring pet movement bad points - first the reason I replaced these, these will only connect to 2.4ghz wifi, if you do not know how to turn off the 5ghz wifi on your router you cannot connect them, with a newer router they might not connect at all, when I replaced my router one of these connected perfectly well but the others refused. other bad points, these require a subscription to allow recording of events it was a minimum of £7.99 per month for three, they also requre a micro sd card each and the phone app
Free: Slat type shelving (Eastfield YO11) Gifted Simple wooden shelves, pine I think and unpainted, bit dusty, 4 shelves about 160 cm tall by 30 deep and 45 or so wide, need getting rid of, as they are only screwed together I could take them apart to get into someone's car, though they might fit on a back seat
Request: Small comms rack/cabinet (Eastfield YO11) Expired I am putting together a home networking lab for practice on my ccna and projects, I have managed to get my hands on an older server and cisco router and switch, but a 6 or 8 U rack to keep them in would be immense help, so if anyone has one not in use can I please put it into action, thank you
