Little Tykes mini trampoline (Bowers x El Camino)
Frame is sturdy and the hand support bar comes off with removal of a bolt on each end. The jumping surface is pretty loose, so to make this properly bouncy you will need to do something to tighten the green loops in the second photo.

Toddler crafts table (Bowers x El Camino)
32” wide, 30” long and extendable as shown in third photo, 16” tall This is solid, and just needs a wipe down. The colored pieces of tabletop are just taped-on plastic, so tear it off and wrap it with your own preference. I have the third piece of the tabletop to use when the table is extended. Priority to someone who can credibly provide a narrow pickup window. Once I put it out I do not want to bring it back in. Click through my username for more offerings for infants/toddlers.

8 total. 7 of them have one broken lid, the last one has two broken lids. Otherwise, in perfectly good condition. the black marks are just numbering by market, and Should wash off, and you will want to give these a good soak anyway. Besides pills, I could see these being used to store arts and craft supplies, screws, etc.

I actually have two of these. They expired over a year ago, if you pay attention to such things. You can take this in to get a discount on a new carseat at events held occasionally at various stores. For example, get a 20% discount in Target's next program. The most recent one appears to have been April 2025, and in the past they ran quarterly: Target’s 20% discount applies to a lot more baby gear than just car seats.

Large Air fryer (broken) (Bowers x El Camino)
Gifted
Worked perfectly for 2 years of light use, then after making a snack a few days ago it just would not turn back on. There was no sound or spark. Resurrecting this could be as simple as reattaching something that came loose in the internal electronics. Amazon link for specs:

2 car seats with bases, 1 stroller (Bowers x El Camino)
Gifted
This is the Chicco Fit2 line. The car seats and bases are for kids up to around age 3. The car seats snap into the stroller frame so you can transfer the baby from car right to stroller. “Expired” in 2023, but that should not affect the use as a stroller. You could also use this as a backup to leave with your emergency person. Covers are removable for washing. Preference to someone who will take all or most of the pieces.

Morton salt, caked over (Bowers x El Camino)
Gifted
2 canisters, nearly full Ideas below. ———- If you have a couple of hardened and expired canisters of Morton salt, there are several practical ways to use or repurpose them. Salt itself does not expire, but additives like iodine or anti-caking agents may lose effectiveness over time. Here are some options: ### **Breaking and Reusing the Salt** 1. **Break It Up**: Hardened salt can be broken into smaller pieces by: - Dropping the container on a hard surface (if it's in a bag or sturdy container)[3]. - Using tools like a hammer or chisel to break chunks into usable grains[9][20]. - Dissolving the salt in water, then boiling it off to recrystallize it[9]. 2. **Cooking and Baking**: If the salt is clean and free from discoloration, it can still be used in cooking, baking, or seasoning food[7][12]. However, iodized salt may have lost some of its iodine content over time. ### **Alternative Uses** 1. **Deicing**: Use the hardened salt for melting ice on walkways and driveways during winter[3][20]. 2. **Cleaning**: Salt is an excellent abrasive cleaner for scrubbing pots, pans, or removing stains from surfaces. 3. **Preservation**: If it's pickling or canning salt, it can still be used for preserving foods as long as it hasn't been contaminated[1][17]. ### **Repurposing** 1. **DIY Projects**: Repurpose the containers into storage jars or crafts by decorating them[8][13]. 2. **Recycling Packaging**: If the packaging is recyclable (e.g., cardboard or plastic), follow recycling guidelines to dispose of it properly[2]. ### **Environmental Considerations** Avoid dumping old salt in gardens or storm drains, as excessive sodium can harm plants and ecosystems[3]. Instead, find practical uses or give it away if you cannot use it. By breaking up the hardened salt and finding creative applications, you can make the most of your expired Morton salt without waste!

La Crosse WS-7078U digital clock (Bowers and El Camino)
Gifted
This came with a sensor unit to be placed outdoors for detecting temperature, but that died. The clock was designed to get the time automatically over the air--this does not work for me, but might work in a location with better reception. The clock can also be manually set. The indoor temperature seems to be accurate. Uses two AA batteries. 7" height. Bottom line: Think of this as a battery-operated digital clock, and if any of the other bells and whistles work, that is a bonus.
