Lid only for Sterilite storage tote (Davis)
Expired
White, a little dirty with garage dust. Overall dimensions 23-3/8 by 16-1/2 inches.
Free:
Heart-shaped box (Davis)
Expired
An empty gift box that had Valentines chocolates in it. About 8 to 9 inches diameter, 1 inch high. The graphics on the outside are nothing special, but the cardboard is thick and sturdy, would be good to decoupage on.

Free:
Armor All Original auto detailer (Davis)
Expired
Mostly full trigger spray bottle.
16d
Free:
Size 4 girl’s sandals, beige (Davis)
Expired
Art Class (Target) brand. Not sure what to call these, maybe “clog sandals” — they have ankle straps, closed toes, thick semi-platform soles. Used but lots of life left.
17d
Free:
Nestlé Crunch golf towel (Davis)
Expired
Dark blue terry cloth towel. At one end, the Crunch bar logo is screen printed, and the number “3” is embroidered.
17d
Free:
Sugar-free gum (Davis)

Four sealed packs (60 sticks total) of chewing gum: two packs Sours Extra Strawberry, one pack Extra Watermelon, one pack Wrigley’s Doublemint.

Free:
Curb alert: drafting desk (Davis)
Expired
Leonar Neolt model. Made in Italy, fancy when it was new. This one has been out on the curb for over a week. Near the northeast corner at the intersection of 1st St and C St.

Free:
Curb alert: toaster oven (Davis)
Expired
Right next to the sidewalk, set out on a low wall in front of the Smith Funeral Home sign.

Free:
Curb alert: Dog crate (Davis)
Expired
Midwest iCrate model 1536; the Internet can tell you the dimensions and other features. It’s in a dumpster corral at West Village. Drive east on Tilia St. until you can’t go further because the street becomes a bike path. Turn right (south) into the little parking lot. The dumpster corral is on your right side.
22d
Free:
Mace Ranch light fixture (Davis)
Expired
Plain round ceiling light fixture that you could use for parts, especially if you have the same model in your house. Used by Richmond American in the 1990s. This one was removed from the pantry, but it’s the same as some bathrooms. Doesn’t include the fluorescent bulb. Was working when removed.

Free:
Bathroom vanity light fixture (Davis)
Expired
Unused but missing the glass pieces. Kichler model 6123CH, chrome finish.
31d
Request:
Glass or plastic sheet material (Davis)
Expired
For making substitute windows to go above seasonally-installed window AC units. I don’t know the exact dimensions yet, but the window openings are 22-1/4 inches wide. I do have a manual glass cutter, so I could trim off chipped edges or broken corners, like glazing from a large picture frame that is still mostly intact.
31d
Free:
Roller Derby inline frames (Davis)
Expired
Just the black plastic inline frames, one with an orange brake pad. Does not include the wheels, axle hardware, mounting hardware, or boots. Works with Roller Derby kids’ 2-in-1 convertible skates, and maybe copycat products. Size unknown, distance between the mounting holes is ~123mm center-to-center.
35d
Free:
Brown paper packing material (Davis)
Expired
Three big wads, plus two medium wads. They were used to pad a trailer hitch receiver in its shipping box. A small amount of gritty sand was all over everything in the box and still stuck in the folds of the packing paper. Otherwise the paper is clean and dry.
38d
Free:
Blade for Oster blender (Davis)
Expired
Just the metal blade, with an 8-point female drive mechanism. The round bottom part is bent, unsure whether that affects the seal. But that part is stainless steel, so surely it could be bent back or flattened.
39d
Request:
Work pants legs (Davis)
Expired
I’d like to salvage some tough fabric in neutral colors for a craft project. Work pants with holes or broken zippers would be perfect.
40d
Free:
Red fabric scraps (Davis)
Expired
This is a tank top that I am about to cut up for rags, offered here first for crafting or any higher use than rags. Fabric is 95% cotton, 5% spandex, stretchy knit.
40d
Free:
Store brand barbecue sauce (Davis)
Expired
“Sweet ‘n tangy spicy” flavor. Completely sealed. I don’t see any date on it.
43d
Free:
Kraft tartar sauce, 12 fl oz (Davis)
Expired
Best by April 2025. Sealed under the cap. The flip-top piece of the cap broke off and is gone; you could fix that by saving and reusing the screw cap from the same or similar product.

Request:
Clothespins (Davis)
Expired
Any style clothespins, and I can pick up even in Woodland and Sacramento.
51d

I much prefer wire, such as hangers from dry cleaners.

Free:
Hollyhock seeds (Tahoe Park)
Expired
I’m bringing a bucket of hollyhock seeds to the clothing swap hosted by @zeebeeknits at Tahoe Park tomorrow, August 23 (details on Eventbrite). Bring your own envelope or paper to wrap up your seeds.
53d
Request:
Black & Decker old charger (Davis)
Expired
Specifically looking for a cordless tool charger that is compatible with 14.4v battery packs, although the charger might be labeled with a range such as “9.6v - 18v” or “9.6v - 24v” rather than one specific voltage. I’ll also take old batteries that go along with the charger, even if they aren’t working.
55d
Free:
JST connector (Davis)
Expired
One small plastic plug taken off of a cordless phone battery pack: Enercell (Radio Shack) 23-930. NOT the whole battery pack. JUST the little plug connector.
56d
Free:
Huawei F256VW (Davis)
Expired
For a serious tinkerer. This 3G device stopped serving its intended purpose when Verizon shut down its 3G network. But it has a USB port, and I see people are still buying this exact model on Ebay, so maybe something useful can be done with the hardware components? Battery pack not included. I’m using the power adapter for something else, but if you bring me another one that outputs 12 volts, I’ll trade you the adapter that goes with the device.
57d
Request:
Bamboo rhizomes (Davis)
Expired
Or divisions. I can dig, if that’s what you prefer.

Curb alert: bike tires and tubes (Davis)
Expired
On the west side of G Street, north of 7th Street and south of Sweet Briar Drive. Kind of hidden by a pile of yard debris. Three tires, all skinny road bike tires. Several tubes, all fat.
