Free: 4 random compact fluorescent bulbs (Rishworth HX6) Despite the difference in size, the left- and right-hand ones are both 11W and the spiral is 8W. The enclosed one doesn't have a wattage marked but the stated current translates to 22W. This one is new, the others have had some use but are in working order. Available separately or together.

1d

Free: 5 filament bulbs (Rishworth HX6) From left to right in the photo are 100W pearl, clear orange (probably 40 or 60W), pearl night light (10W?) and a 60W spotlight, with a candle bulb (probably 25 or 40W) at the back. All except the spotlight are standard bayonet fittings; the spotlight is Edison Screw. The spotlight is unused; the others will have had some use but are in working order. I'm happy for them to go individually or together.

1d

Free: 2-ring folder and sleeves (Rishworth HX6) Green, 2-ring, A4 folder containing 30-odd clear sleeves. All have been used but I think I have thrown out all the unserviceable ones.

2d

Free: Two square section steel tubing frames (Rishworth HX6) Two frames made of "! square section steel tubing with knock-in corner joints. The larger is 60 x 40 cm, the smaller 48 x 40 cm, though the bits can be separated and re-arranged and/or cut down.

2d

Free: Metal clad switch (Rishworth HX6) Gifted No idea how I came by this but, although superficially tatty, it appears to be in good working order. Rated at 13/20A, which I assume to mean up to 20A. Ideal for use in a garage or shed. Available for collection from Tuesday, 16th December; delivery might be possible if you live close to the road from Rishworth to central Halifax and are happy to wait until I'm heading that way.

21d

Free: 13A switched and fused spur (Rishworth HX6) Withdrawn This was removed from our flat when we changed all our sitting room switches and sockets to brass. It was working then (though usually just left on) and appears to be in good condition other than a small chip near the cable entry, visible in both photos. Available for collection from Tuesday, 16th December; delivery might be possible if you live close to the road from Rishworth to central Halifax and are happy to wait until I'm heading that way.

21d

Free: Double-sided doorway carpet gripper in gold/brass (Rishworth HX6) Withdrawn Unused. Probably bought for a job I obviously never did and have long forgotten. It's about 35" long so will fit a standard door. It can be collected at most times by arrangement but delivery is unlikely to be an option unless you are close to the road from Rishworth to central Halifax.

37d

Free: Piece of thin, green carpet (Rishworth HX6) Withdrawn On offer is an unused piece of green carpet, (a bit lighter than the photo suggests) about 10' x 6' (calculated rather than measured). It was left over from having a van converted to a camper, when it was used for lining the sides. It is decidedly thin by carpet standards but would be better than nothing, particularly if used over underlay. Or it could be used for lining something else. It can be collected at most times by arrangement but delivery is not an option unless you are as accessible to me as Sowerby Bridge tip.

37d

Free: Polished Chrome Coaxial TV Socket (Rishworth HX6) Withdrawn Bought for use in a boat I was fitting out some years ago but never used. Still in its sealed packaging. It can be collected at most times by arrangement but delivery is unlikely to be an option unless you are close to the road from Rishworth to central Halifax.

38d

Free: 3 rolls of carpet underlay (Rishworth HX6) Withdrawn On offer are 3 rolls of green foam carpet underlay. They have been used so, while still serviceable, aren't in mint condition. The sizes (calculated rather than measured) are (bottom) about 7' x 4'6", (middle) about 5'6" x 4'6", and (top) about 9' x 3'6", though this last one has a tapering section so only 5' or 6' is full width. They can be collected at most times by arrangement but delivery is not an option unless you are as accessible to me as Sowerby Bridge tip.

38d

Free: Two railway tickets (Rishworth HX6) Expired I have two e-tickets, valid for someone with a senior railcard for a journey from Leeds to Sowerby Bridge on 12th September that I am unable to use. They are nominally for the 19:43 train but are probably valid for any Northern service that evening.

130d

Free: Gripper strip (Rishworth HX6) Expired 8 x 5' (1.5 metre) lengths of carpet gripper strip. Unused. Collection from Tuesday next, 8th April.

272d

Free: Small IKEA Leksvik Storage Unit (Rishworth HX6) Gifted On offer is a small IKEA Leksvik storage unit. It's about 16" (40 cm) wide and deep and 6' (180 cm high) and is in good condition. The picture is not of our unit but is included as guidance for anyone not familiar with the Leksvik range. Available from Tuesday, 8th April.

274d

Request: Insulation board (Rishworth HX6) Expired Does anyone have any offcuts of sheet insulation (Kingspan or similar). No thicker than 2". I can use a total of about 15 square feet but it doesn't need to be a single piece as it will have to be fitted in at least 4 pieces. Can collect most times to suit.

281d

Free: Large sturdy box (suitable for moving) (Rishworth HX6) Expired I have a very strong (its original contents weighed 40 kg) cardboard box, approx. 55 x 48 x 38 cm with plastic handles which could be used for packing something heavy (books come to mind) for moving. Given its size, I can't keep it too long - say the end of the month. Also recognising that driving to collect a single box isn't very friendly environmentally I am willing to consider delivering (or meeting to hand over) along the Rishworth- Sowerby Bridge - central Halifax axis if I can tie it into a journey I need to make for other reasons.

282d

Free: Two dc voltage droppers (for LED lights) (Rishworth HX6) Expired A bit specialised so a long shot but here's hoping. These are two voltage droppers rated 10-32V input, 2A @ 12V output. They were used to run a couple of LED light strings on a boat with a 24V lighting circuit but became redundant when I changed the whole circuit to 12V.

296d

Free: Large plastic bags (Rishworth HX6) Expired We have recently purchased two new single beds so have 4 large plastic bags (about 2 metres x 1 metre) looking for a new home. One is slightly damaged (small hole near the closed end which would seal with small piece of tape) but I the others are fine.

321d

Free: Folding set of shelves (Rishworth HX6) Expired After the THIRD time-waster failed to arrange to collect this folding sets of shelves is up for grabs again. They are about 26" wide and 10" deep and can best be described as 'serviceable' in that, although sound, they have a number of scratches so are only suitable for use where appearance isn't important. We can't put up with any more pratting about so I will only offer them to someone who is able to collect Monday (17th) evening, Tuesday (18th) daytime or Wednesday (19th) all day. Preference will be given to people who say when they would propose to collect. My apologies to the three or four people who asked for these originally but didn't get an offer; things have dragged on so long I have lost your contact info. Please feel free to ask again.

324d

Free: Toggles (Rishworth HX6) Expired Eight outdoor clothing toggles, all in good order. Available singly or in groups.

330d

Free: washstand jug and basin set (Rishworth HX6) Gifted Following a bedroom reorganisation I no longer have anywhere to display these. They are Victorian, probably about 1860/70 and came to me through my mother's female line. The family was quite poor so they are only basic - plain white with no maker's name - and the bowl has some rough patches in the bottom, suggesting it might have been a second. Nevertheless, they are technically 'antique' and I should like to see them find a new home rather than go to the tip.

351d

Free: King size, pocket sprung mattress (Rishworth HX6) Expired On offer is a king size (200x150 cm) Silentnight mattress (see photo). It's just on the firm side of medium and we are replacing it because my (increasingly arthritic) wife has started to find it too firm. It's about 10 years old and but has only had about half that use as we spend about half our time on our canal boat. It has some signs of use (slight sagging) but should be OK for another few years. Its replacement is due on Monday, 13th January, so it must be collected before then. We will help to get it to a vehicle but can't deliver.

Free: Single beds (Rishworth HX6) Gifted These are about 40 years old but have had very little use and are in decent condition. They were used (alternately) by my mother before her death in 1996 and have been my spares since. The bedding is not included. We are happy for them to go either singly or as a pair but please don't ask for both if you only need one. We would prefer them to be collected (the legs unscrew but they don't split across) but I'll consider helping with delivery if it's close to somewhere we would go to anyway (principally Rishworth - Sowerby Bridge).

Request: Bulb-holder for Table Lamp (Rishworth HX6) Expired Having knocked over one of our bedside lights and broken the stem which fixes the actual bulb-holder to the base I have struggled to find a replacement to buy. Does anyone have a bayonet fitting one with a 10 mm stem that they don't want, please?

1y

Free: Table/desk fan (Rishworth HX6) Expired Unknown make but about 14" high with 2-speed, 9" fan. It also oscillates and tilts. It belonged to a relative who died earlier this year and seems to be in good working order. I think it can also be assumed to be very safe electrically as it came covered in PAT testing stickers from his care home.

1y

Free: Nokia 105 mobile phone (unlocked) (Rishworth HX6) Gifted This is a very unsmart phone. Very suitable for a non-techie person who just wants to make and receive phone calls, though it does do texts. About 3 years old, it belonged to a relative who died earlier in the year and was in good working order at that time. I have checked that it charges up and turns on and off perfectly well but can't actually confirm phone operation as it no longer has a SIM.

1y

Free: Radio/CD player (Rishworth HX6) Gifted It's an Alba CX400 radio (MW & FM)/CD player which belonged to a relative of my wife who died earlier this year. It appears to be in working order and I know that he was using it until going into hospital shortly before he died. Collection no later than next Wednesday (10/07) if possible.

1y

Free: Battery for Acer F15 (Rishworth HX6) Expired This is a battery I replaced because its working life had dropped to a couple of hours and I was intending simply to take it for recycling. when it occurred to me that it might still be useful for someone who had an even worse one. It is the 6 cell version (AS16B5J) so check what you need carefully as there is a 4 cell one and the two are not interchangeable. Don't ask for it unless you want it and are willing and able to collect from Rishworth.

1y

Free: IEC Power Cables (Rishworth HX6) Expired Two are bare wire to IEC C14 right-angle plugs (RS 488-882), the 3rd has a straight plug (RS 445-734). There is also a straight plug without a cable (RS489-251. All are unused with three in original packing. Available individually or together. Please don't ask if you don't want and aren't willing and able to collect.

1y

Free: Frying pan (Rishworth HX6) Expired On offer is a very sturdy 10"/25cm frying pan suitable for use on all heat sources. We have replaced it because the non-stick coating is no longer as good as it was. We also have another frying pan and a selection of kitchen utensils, all of which came from a charity for which we volunteer and are of poorer quality, though still better than nothing.
