Free: 800 Styrofoam Meal Containers (Southeast Houston) How many can you use? No obligation to take all. Unopened packages, large 50-count bags, which are then grouped in larger boxes. Purchased for a fundraiser which was then delayed; and later, it was cancelled altogether. By then, it was too late to return them. Tried offering them to a few non-profits (a church with frequent food fundraisers, a food bank, and a meal delivery service for shut-ins), none of which wanted them. Yes, they’re harmful products for Mother Earth, not accepted by most recycling companies, banned in some states. Yet, it seems like these could get some use somehow, rather than going directly to landfill. Example: They function as packing materials, if not used to serve food.

Free: 12 lbs packing paper (Southeast Houston) Promised Approx 24x36 sheets of thin newsprint paper, about 12 lbs. Useful for packing or students’ creative projects. Not perfectly flat, yet clean inside “recycling bag.” Somewhat folded, bent, barely crumpled, edges appear lightly damaged.

Free: Silver Coin Holders (no coins) (Southeast Houston) Gifted Like New, boxes opened. 250(?) Coin Capsule clear tops and bottoms, plus black soft-foam rounds (from which user separates the gaskets). Photos show info. Having inherited this with a family member’s possessions, I’m mostly clueless about these. (Qty is probably <250, exact no. unknown.)

Free: Wraps for Lymphedema Treatments (Southeast Houston) Gifted These wraps still have more use remaining. Have been laundered carefully. Worn during a moderate number of treatments on a “pump machine.” Used in multiples, for length of entire lower leg and foot, they are longer than regular sports wraps. Widths are standard. For folks with Lymphedema, CVI (Chronic Venous Insufficiency), etc. One photo shows items in the other two photos altogether.
