Recycling websites

#1 Post by Kwackerz » Sun Oct 28, 2007 2:29 pm

Freecycle ( http://www.freecycle.org/ )

Items offered for free. Advertise (and receive) items from your local area. Ideal for those items that would only be skipped otherwise. One man's crap is another man's golddust n all that..

Go on then Gio.. Match these with something..

Upright Piano
This piano has been in the family for 4 generations; since brand new!
It's a beautiful gothic-looking, half iron-framed German upright,
whose insides are, unfortunately, past their best. It's got too much
history and is just too good-looking to skip.
It would be just right as a restoration project or perhaps as a stage
prop.
Espresso Machine
Morphy Richards cafe merito espresso machine, model number 47570.
For info see this link on the Morphy Richards website :
http://www.morphyrichards.co.uk/wizz400 ... &ORLID=ENG
Hardly used - we use a stovetop maker, and haven't got room to keep this!
Go on then, here's the crap that is crap ad...

Leather offcuts
Hi freecyclers
I have a large bag of slightly damp-damaged leather offcuts. The bag is
large (almost bin-bag size), but the leather pieces all seem fairly small,
so not really suitable to sewing together into larger sheets unless you have
quite a bit of patience.

There were the obligatory computer screens, modems and boxes for moving as well as a quad bike (that i didnt notice at the time :smt017 )

So 'your' area's best are worse than those?

We had a piano like that, it just sat in a corner of my parents lounge for about 25 years, when you opened the top case it stunk inside.

So one day after I'd left home I was going to take my parents to the airport, so I left the lid open while they were away (6 weeks) the whole house stunk, but at least they got rid of it :smt005


That Morphy Richards thing might be ok, but I prefer my hobs espresso machine.

Can't imagine what you'd do with bits of leather :smt017

Come on Gio - where's your imagination - a bumper bag of cut-price sandwich fillings waiting to be had - a splash of salad and a squirt of mayo and the job's done!
