Free: Old wooden 2 piece ladder (2 x 3m) (Saint George's CO2) Expired I have an old 2 piece ladder, wooden, each half approx 3m / 10ft long. This has been outside for many years and so several of the rungs are starting to give way (one has broken on the outside ladder) so may need some attention to the rungs before being safely used.

Free: Bookcase 182cm x 72cm x 28cm (Saint George's CO2) Expired Wooden bookcase approx 192cm high, 72cm wide and 28cm deep. A few marks but still quite usable. One of the shelves (bottom one) is a replacement and is a few cm shallower than the others. Middle shelf is fixed but the others are removable and can be moved up or down. First to collect gets it as we need it gone - Layer Road, Colchester. You will need a van or large car.

Request: Model Railway Buildings and Items (Saint George's CO2) Expired Looking for old broken railway items that I can fix up for my layout or occasionally swap or sell to then buy other things that fit my layout. Buildings, rolling stock - in fact most things would be great. Happy to collect within 10 miles or so of Colchester.

Free: Canon Pixma ip7250 Printer for Repair (Saint George's CO2) Expired Canon printer - needs repair. Does print but quality is very poor and I suspect the printer heads need cleaning. Sometimes struggles to pick up paper from the tray. New black cartridge just put in to see if printing quality would improve (it didn’t) but colour cartridges all need replacing. Needs repair or used for spares or even just to take the black cartridges out. No power lead (gone missing!).

Free: Picnic plates and bowls etc (Saint George's CO2) Expired Box of assorted plastic bowls plates and cutlery that we no longer use. Maybe of some use before they get thrown? Colchester (Layer Road)

Free: 6 window Venetian blinds (Saint George's CO2) Gifted 6 Venetian blinds removed as windows are being replaced. The very largest blind can go up and down but the bar to ‘twizzle’ the slats doesn’t work. One of the medium blinds has a broken slat. Prefer all to be taken together asap. Sizes are (in cm) - D150/W120, D150/W74, D115/W177, D200/W173, 2 x D200/W45. Collection from Colchester, Layer Road.

Request: Old model railway items that need love and repair (Saint George's CO2) Expired Looking for old model railway items that I can repair and refurbish - trains, buildings, track etc. Ideally N gauge but anything welcome (including working items as well). Being upfront, this is hopefully to use on my own layouts but sometimes I then swap or sell in order to build up my own layout without spending a fortune - and I quite enjoy refurbishing these anyway. Happy to collect from anywhere in Essex.
