Free: 20 individually wrapped Earl Grey teabags (Corsham) I can't find a date anywhere on them, but they are all individually sealed. I don't like earl grey - anyone want to give them a try? I come in to Bath on weekends and happy to drop off en route

Request: Female to female 3.5mm jack adaptor (Corsham) Expired Just in case someone has a single one lying around in a box somewhere! I would be very happy to put it to use.

57d

Free: Red poppy small satchel bag (Corsham) Expired Usable condition, but half the magnet closure on the front is missing, and there's some fabric wear on the back (see photos of both). I've been using it like this for quite some time though, the inside is still perfect and it has the advantage of being waterproof and surprisingly spacious for it's size (however it still got too small for all my stuff!)

61d

Free: Chrome washing up rack (Corsham) Expired Good condition and no rust, although it has lost its shine. Originally IKEA, it folds flat for storage.

61d

Free: Vintage Enid Blyton (tatty) (Corsham) Expired These are not in good condition, they've obviously been well read, and previous young owners have scribbled on the inside. However they are still readable, if anyone would like to relive their childhood or introduce a new young reader to them? Giving them a chance before they have to be recycled!

61d

Free: Silver candles - angel chimes, Christmas tree etc (Corsham SN13) Expired Small candles (2p coin for scale) which are an unusual size often used in angel chimes. Some damage to the silver coating. Tidying away the Christmas decorations and we just won't use these - we have enough in other colours to last a lifetime!

63d

Free: Cardboard star with plug in light for inside (Corsham SN13) Expired The lights all work, and there may even be some spare bulbs (if I can find them). They are a cool white. However some of the glue has given up on the star, so several joins will need repair with taps or fresh glue - but if you want it for next Christmas, you've got almost a year to fix it! You could also just use the light in a new outer star.

63d

Free: 100ish DVD cases (Corsham) Expired I have no idea how I ended up with so many.... These are mostly single cases, although some may take two discs in a stack. Happy to split if you only want a few - it all helps send slightly less to landfill..!

63d

Free: Wooden trunk (lid in need of repair) (Odd Down) Gifted Nice wooden chest, good size for sorting blankets, toys etc. The sides and base are solid but the lid needs gluing back together and one side piece replacing (the other is still there to copy). We don't need it any more, but it's a pity to throw it out if someone had the time to repair it?

99d

Request: Power for All 18v charger (Corsham) Expired Any charger that's compatible with Power for All 18v batteries - as made by Bosch, Husqvarna (like the pictures), Flymo, Gardenia, Wagner, Rapid, Gloria... Perhaps you have one lying around from a long since expired tool?

129d

Free: Faced chipboard sheets and pieces (Corsham) Expired Just in case any of these look useful to someone before we take them to the tip. The biggest piece is approx 50cm x 160cm (20" x 64”). Hopefully you can eye up the other pieces from that... Take any or all.

138d

Request: 21mm socket - 1/2" square drive (Corsham) Expired I need one to add to my in-car wheel change kit - although not too expensive to buy, I thought I would see if there was a lonely one hanging around someone's shed or workshop first!

149d

Free: Large charcoal BBQ (Corsham) Gifted It's not really been BBQ weather recently, but we might still get a nice October! Basic barrel-style charcoal BBQ. Rusty, but no holes or broken bits and plenty big enough for a family or large group of friends to cook.

179d

Free: Large inflatable beach ball (Corsham) Expired This beach ball arrived on the wind several weeks ago, and has been blowing up and down our street ever since in a vain attempt to find a new home. It is a little deflated, but still seems to be holding air. Would anyone like to adopt it?

179d

Free: small cushion (Corsham) Gifted Simple cushion - home made cover but nicely put together with a velcro closure so it can be removed for washing. It's about 2/3rds the size of a regular bed pillow and can come with or without the inner cushion.

216d

Free: Curtains - various (Corsham) Gifted 4 sets of regular curtains (the large yellow set has 4 curtains), and two single net curtains. Dimensions of each set is in its photo - they range between 180cm to 220cm long, and are 160cm wide (except for the cream set which are 122cm, and the nets are 250cm) All clean but used. There are some marks, foxing and fading - the blue ones in particular I can't decide if they are faded vertically across each one or were always an ombre effect. But if you've just moved and don't have funds for buying lots of curtains, these will still do the job as they did for us for many years before we redecorated.

219d

Free: King bed foot board (Corsham) Expired Was replaced on a new bed by the manufacturer due to minor defects where veneer was chipped on edges. Not massively noticeable but annoying on a new purchase hence replacement. It's oak and oak veneer - any want it for its original purpose or just to use for materials?

219d

Free: Postage tube (Corsham) Expired Good solid tube. Approx 48cm long, 8cm diameter, with caps.

219d

Free: Large sheets of corrugated cardboard (Corsham SN13) Expired Anyone need any at the moment for gardening or crafts? Approx 1 x 1.5m at the longest points, to give an idea of size.

249d

Free: Walnut seedlings (Corsham SN13) Expired Found planted in my garden by the local wildlife. I've no idea what kind they are but if you want to take a chance you might get some walnuts out of it! Take one or both

289d

Free: Sturdy old shed door (Corsham SN13) Gifted This is a full size door, taken from a brick built shed when I swapped the door for a solid one. Two holes present from where the lock and handle mechanism was removed. Looks a bit tatty, but the planks are thick and it's generally still solid.

339d

Free: Garden parasol - wind out mechanism (Corsham SN13) Gifted This blew into my partner's garden in the storms a while back - we've held on to it in case a neighbour came to retrieve it but no owner has appeared... It is rather dirty and has a hole (see second photo), but the winding mechanism to put it up works and I'm sure the hole could be patched up.

341d

Free: Very chunky pallets (Corsham SN13) Expired These arrived supporting a delivery of 1 tonne bags, and seem to be made of very thick planks for pallets! Easily accessible for collection any time.

357d

Free: Homemade plant protection collars (Corsham SN13) Gifted 31 of the square and 8 round (I may dig out another few and I tidy up). These are lengths of drainpipe with copper tape around them. I used these around seedlings when growing veg to protect from pests and weather when they were getting started. Just found in the shed and I don't need them any more. The copper would benefit from a clean.

364d

Free: Corkscrew hazel prunings (Corsham SN13) Expired A few lengths just pruned out of the garden. Interesting twisted shapes if anyone would like them

364d

Free: Large pieces of cardboard (Bath Oddown) (Corsham) Expired Packaging from IKEA Besta units (to give you an idea of size). Decent size sheets. Anyone want some for gardening or something before it gets recycled? Please note these are in BATH ODDOWN not Corsham, as I'm posting this for a friend.

Free: IKEA storage box (Corsham SN13) Gifted 70 x 39 x 29cm. Basic storage box that they sold for not a lot of money, but good for throwing stuff in and keeping it out of sight. The top is just a sheet of wrapping paper that was slotted in, it's not glued and can be removed if wanted (it's rather old)

1y

Free: Beach shelter (Corsham) Expired This is definitely vintage, I'm pretty sure it would have been used when I was a kid! It's all there with fabric, poles and pegs intact, however the zipper is corroded so the front won't zip up and just provides more groundsheet when laid out. However it'll still work as shade and somewhere to try and keep your sandwiches sand-free. Approx 2m x 1m inner area

1y

Free: Empty CD cases (Corsham) Expired Anyone still use these? Happy to split if you just need a few. It'll save them from landfill

1y

Free: Assorted Music CDs (Corsham) Gifted A random collection of everything - rock, pop, trance, dance, vintage, plus two magazine freebies with 20 greatest speeches and a Fantastic Mr fox audiobook. Some in cases, plus a stack of discs. Happy to split, as otherwise they will go to the tip.
