Expired
2 chopping boards - plywood coated with some kind of plastic (melamine perhaps?). Pictures on one side, plain on the other. Dating from the 1970s and 1980s.

Large tea towel (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Large white tea towel with green stripe commemorating the late Queen. Has been used, but is clean, is made of very good quality fabric (a heavy cotton, I think) and there is plenty of wear left in it. My mum added a little loop to hang it up from, which you can just about see in the top centre. Evening collection preferred. Some lunchtimes possible.

Double duvet cover and pillowcases (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Floral duvet cover for double bed. 4 near-matching floral pillowcases (if you look closely, the flowers aren’t quite the same on the duvet as on the pillowcases, and the duvet cover doesn’t have the plain border, but they are a very close match and have been treated as a set). The second picture shows the full pillowcase design. I think they are cotton, but the labels have faded. Used, but still in good condition. The colours have faded a little in places on the duvet cover. Evening collection preferred. Some lunchtimes possible.

Free:
Small storage jars (Walkley S6)
Expired
2 attractive glass storage jars with lids. See pen in picture for approximate size. The larger jar was used for rice until recently, and has a lid that seals well. The paper labels on the side would come off with a good soaking. The smaller, hexagonal jar was used for toiletries. Its lid fits very loosely, so is probably not that good for food. Take one or both jars. Evening collection preferred. To avoid disappointment please check your messages on the app/website or provide a mobile number. Emails are sometimes very slow to get through.

Soldering iron (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Large soldering iron - see measuring tape in the pictures for approximate dimensions. The tip is just under 1cm wide. Henley brand. I’ve no idea how old this is - we found it when clearing out my dad’s garage. No solder or flux. It heats up, but other than that, I can’t tell how good it is. Although it looks ok to my untrained eye, I would recommend getting someone to PAT test it before using. Evening collection preferred. Some lunchtimes may be possible.

Clothes pegs (Walkley S6)

3 dusters. The yellow and light blue ones are microfibre square dusters, the darker blue one is a long rectangular one in a quality traditional (cotton?) fabric with a Saville Row label on. These have all been used and have some marks on which wouldn’t come out in the wash. But they might be of use to someone starting out.

Brasso metal polish (Walkley S6)
Gifted
About 1/3 of a 175ml can of Brasso Metal polish. Suitable for brass, copper, stainless steel and chrome. The can is quite old, but I’ve tried it out and it still does the job. Not worth travelling miles for, but may be of interest to someone in the Walkley or Upperthorpe area. Note that this is flammable and toxic to aquatic life. Not suitable for children. Evening collection easiest with me. Some lunchtimes may be possible.

Brown paper tape (gummed) (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Read carefully before requesting… 1 large roll of brown paper sticky tape. Possibly for parcels, but I’m not sure. Please note that this is the sort of tape you have to moisten with a sponge to make it stick - it is NOT self-adhesive. 9.5 cm wide, 15cm diameter. Evening collection preferred.

Light bulbs for cooker hood or similar (Walkley S6)
Gifted
2 light bulbs. According to the box, the one on the left (next to the box) is a 42w halogen energy saver that is equivalent to a regular 60w halogen bulb. The one on the right of the picture looks like a regular halogen bulb. Screw fitting (says E14 on the box, which I assume to be the size). I’ve not tested them to see if they work.

Light bulbs (old style filament) (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Several old style halogen filament light bulbs. (Ignore the low energy boxes in the picture - they’ve been reused!). As far as I can tell, there are three 100w, one 60w, one 40w and one 8w. Bayonet fitting. I imagine they are all partially used, and were swapped out for low energy ones, then kept for spare. I’ve not tested them to see if they still work. Evening collection preferred.

Small armchair (old) (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Small armchair. Bought in a junk shop in the early 1990s so pretty old. Does NOT have fire safety label and will therefore not conform to current fire safety standards as it is. But the wooden frame is sturdy and this might be a nice upcycling project for someone who wants to have a go at upholstery. Approximate dimensions: 91cm tall, 64cm wide, 75cm deep.
