Free: Coffee grounds - DICKSON Gifted I have a quantity of used, dried coffee grounds recovered from pods. They are packed in several 1 litre bottles (photo). They can be added to compost as a 'green' component (despite their colour), or can be used in mushroom growing medium. Take one bottle, several, or all. I hope they go this coming weekend.

Request: Car radio aerial Expired I'm looking for a basic car radio aerial so I can test a couple of radios out of the car.I need only a basic one, with cable of course, but I wouldn't turn down a working power-operated one that I might use elsewhere. I'd prefer to pick up Inner Northside.Thanks, J in Dickson.

Request: Stapler (Heavy Duty) Expired I'm looking for a heavy duty stapler to join sheets of tarpaulin. Maybe ex-printshop. The staples used in an ordinary large office stapler aren't strong enough. And a builder's power stapler doesn’t have an anvil plate to bend the staples back. I can pick up from most areas but prefer Northside.J in Dickson

Free: 1980s Malmo 2-seater couch - DICKSON Expired Classic/retro/historic verging on vintage. This Malmo 2-seater couch is a unique piece of Australian heritage furniture from the 1980s, which despite its Swedish name was made in Melbourne. Along with Tessa & Parker., Malmo was a major furnishing brand when Canberra was really getting up. This piece is proper joinery & upholstery, none of your stapled assembly here. It's supremely comfortable, and light for moving about although it looks chunky. Cushions & cushion covers are detachable for cleaning. Fabric is sound though slightly faded, but the roses are still gorgeous. I'd offer it on a sales site but I just don't have the time. Suit retro-nostalgic design student? Consider this -- depending on your age, you or even a parent might have started life on a couch like this ❤️ (Those boomers were pretty wild.)Pick up any time, including over Easter.
