Compost (Rockville)
I have 3 cubic feet of compost. It's a mixture of new and old material, comprised of fruit and vegetable matter, grass clippings, and egg shells. There are probably some earthworms down at the bottom layer. The bin is located in my back yard, and it's uphill to get it up to the front. Unfortunately, I don't have a wheelbarrow, so you might want to bring your own, along with your container, but you can borrow my pitchfork and shovel. Take some or all of it.

Tennis racket (Rockville)

It's well used but still usable. It has been a long time since the strings were redone.

Laptop battery (Rockville)
Gifted
This is a replacement battery that I got a couple years ago for an older Dell laptop. The battery works fine, but the laptop has seen better days. Other than my old Dell laptop, I don't know which laptop models this will fit.

Twin bed frame (Rockville)
Expired
This is an old IKEA bed frame, made from solid wood pieces. It can be disassembled for easier transport. The longest piece is still 6 feet, 4 inches. It could use some cleaning and/or re-painting. The slats are loose but fit inside the frame. An IKEA hex wrench is included.

Wireless keyboard (Rockville)
Expired
It works. It takes 2 AAA batteries, which are not included, and it only works if they are inserted in the correct direction. The matching USB plug is included. There used to be a paired mouse that went with it, but it is long gone. The only other issue is that the battery cover piece on the back is missing.

It's not new but I'm not sure that it's ever been used. It's about 4 inches in diameter. And it's not very soft!

First Baseman's Glove (Rockville)
Gifted
It's pretty old but might be usable, though I'm not entirely sure that it was broken in properly. I think it's probably about the right size for a teen or tween. It's for a right-handed thrower, which used to be less common for a first baseman, but apparently is more common these days.

Otter Box (Rockville)
Expired
Used but in good condition. Unfortunately, I don't know which phone it goes with, and I don't see any identifying numbers on it, but it was probably an Android phone. I can take more pictures or take some measurements if you like.

Soft briefcase (Rockville)
Expired
One of the two handles is broken, but maybe someone who is handy could repair it. There are hooks on both ends of the bag where you could attach a shoulder strap. I think it used to have one that came with it, but I can't find it. The two zippered sections work fine. Despite the pictures, the color is more of a Forest Green, though there is a lot of discoloration, too.

Honda key fob (Rockville)
Expired
It hasn't been used in years, and I don't have the car anymore. But I think if you collect enough of these, they can be worth something in recycling value. Maybe?

2 Verizon FiOS remotes (Rockville)

They seem to work, but they're not compatible with my Verizon box. Apparently not all remotes are interchangeable. Take one or both. Each one needs 2 AA batteries.
