Request: Recycling box and/or bag (Shrewsbury SY1) I am in need of a black recycling box and a blue bag for paper/cardboard as my new home has neither. I thought that rather than use more plastic by ordering new, I would see first if anyone has one they are not using. Thanks

Free: Packing boxes (Shrewsbury SY1) Range of packing boxes, various sizes. There's a blanket box under these so not quite the mountain it looks. Need to be gone by end of week (28th)

Free: Bag of gift bags, tissue paper (Longden SY5) Withdrawn Large paper bag of gift bags (birthday, Easter?, Christmas, plain). They have all been used so quite a few will have no gift tag attached. Some bottle bags too. Multi coloured pieces of tissue paper A few gift labels. All to go together, before Tuesday 28th.

Free: Set of drain rods (Longden SY5) Gifted Unused except for the 2 you can see assembled on left, with a half moon scraper on the end. I only got them for cleaning out the gutters

36d

Free: Farrier's bucket (Longden SY5) Gifted 10L capacity maybe, or a bit more. As a farriers bucket, it only has inbuilt handles.

43d

Free: Tyre pressure gauge (Longden SY5) Gifted Practically new - I didn't get on with this design, and bought, what I call, a proper gauge. This one measures side on to the valve.

53d

Free: Blender (Longden SY5) Withdrawn Chopping bowl, whisk, measuring/mixing cup, motor. There's also the immersion blender attachment if you want but I can't get it to attach anymore so think it's probably worn out.

75d

Free: Landing net (Longden SY5) Gifted A landing net, used for fishing. But I used it to get the apples off of the tree. The photo shows it collapsed down, but it does extend for reach.

75d

Free: Antifreeze and coolant (Longden SY5) Gifted Loads left in. At least one of the bottles said it has a 5 year life - now I am assuming that means you can leave it in the car for that amount of time, not that it's from when you buy or open it.

75d

Free: Pot mover (Longden SY5) Gifted About 12in diameter, metal pot mover - invaluable fir those heavy pots on the patio!!!

75d

Free: Pine wooden bed frame (Longden SY5) Gifted Not expecting anyone to want this, but thought it was worth a go before tossing. So, its shortcomings:- The slats obviously don't fit the bedframe correctly as there should be gaps between them I believe There are bits that are broken as per photos. I don't have many screws that fit the slats but I do have ones to fit tge central wooden one from head to toe Despite all that, the headboard and footboard are in pretty decent nick and, when assembled, the bed is really very sturdy. Tgat said it has only been used in the guestroom so not in every day use. Believe it or not, this is the condition in which I acquired the bed but as it had been dismantled, I had no idea about its faults. It will probably be going to the tip on 14th June.

Free: Car shampoo (Longden SY5) Gifted Just under half full I would say, so about 475ml. Very economical as it says 10ml per bucket. Old but sure it will still work.

81d

Free: Recipe card tin (Longden SY5) Gifted No cards. Good but used condition.

81d

Free: Leather furniture cleaners (Longden SY5) Gifted These are old but, as they're sealed individually in their packets, they do still work as I was using them still within the last 6 months (and I had had my leather furniture for 16 years!). I don't think that I have used the Ink Away application so don't know if it works.

Free: Ground coriander BBE Nov 2026 (Longden SY5) Got a huge bag and although I use it quite a lot, I don't think that I will get through it all before then! You will need to bring a small container for it. Based on Morrisons jar (36g), I can give away about 8 "portions"

85d

Free: Dried sage BBE Nov 2025 (Longden SY5) I made a mistake when I bought this, had some already, and I bought a large tub. It still smells very potent and so I wondered if anyone would like some. If you do, you will need to bring a small container for it - the small one I have says it holds 13g, and based on that I have easily 5 little jars full (based on Sainsbury's 13g jar).

85d

Free: Heat Resistant Gloves (Longden SY5) Gifted Not much to add to the photo - they are quite big although one size, a bit dusty, but unused, obviously.

87d
