Lined curtains (each is 90" x 90") (Axminster)
Just moved into a house where these cream coloured curtains have been in situ for a long time and the linings have some rust-coloured "age spots"/possibly mould marks just at the bottom (see photo). About 90% of the linings are fine, but due to less-than-ideal condition, might be suitable for draft-proofing some kind of garden cabin/garage workshop or similar? Or try to revive by dry cleaning? Or possibly wash in a commercial washing machine? Thought I'd see if anyone can make use of them before resorting to textiles recycling at local recycling centre. Happy to supply the original curtain tracker too, as it will be removed for redecorating. There is also a smaller pair made of identical material that I'll be posting on here later today or tomorrow.

stone planters (very heavy) (Axminster)
Four stone planters - two round, two square. Extremely heavy! (I will empty the contents before collection, but the stone will still be heavy) Round ones are 14 inches in diameter. Square ones are 14 inches across. They are already near the kerbside, which will make collection easier (Axminster). Parking available right outside property.

double futon - natural materials (Langport)
Gifted
Double futon, burgundy colour. Natural materials and fairly heavy. Has fire safety label. There are some historical marks on this item (visible in photo), from prior to my ownership. I wasn't too bothered about this, as my priority was a natural bed, which was given to me free. Now giving it away for free due to imminent move and need to minimise items for storage. Receiver will need to collect. Needs two reasonably strong people to carry it. Can be rolled and tied with twine to make moving it easier.
