A random Dyson V6 cordless vacuum with fluffy head. This particular model with the powered fluffy head is highly rated. It has a bad battery but we were able to test it with a battery from a friend's similar model and it works fine.
A new battery is now coming from iFixit.com and we will probably use this for a while.
A really nice Trek road bike. It has super nice components and such but has a small dent in in the top tube, really a shame. We found a home for it with somebody really into such things and I hope he has a good time with it.
We found a spiffy artistically decorated bedroom set. Two beds (only one pictured) and a nice chest. All are solid wood and quite heavy, in reasonable used condition.
This stuff is all going to a warehouse for furnishing homes of people who have need of furniture.
A pair of wuite nice wooden chairs, suitable for kitchen table or some such. The joints had been reset by somebody using copius amounts of Gorilla glue, so we cleaned the excess up a little to make them more presentable.
Ingested into supply chain for people who need furniture.
A Trek 950 Multitrack that has been upgraded. The cranks, brakes and tyres all all later additions. Possible reason for discard was the flat rear tyres, but who knows.
OK, we had to snag this from curbside garbage due to it having a nice Honda engine on it. It ran briefly when we first looked at it, then not at all. We found no spark and bad resistance values through the coil. New coil was 20 USD or so, so we put that on, flushed the fuel system and it works fine now.
A random small round table with folding leaves. Possible reason for discard was a wobble in the leg mounting. This required some dissassembly to remedy but we did that and it is now ready for a new home.
This modern style dresser came to use with lots of really annoying Dora the Explorer stickers all over it. After scraping those off and removing the sticky residue with laquer thinner it is now good as new.
Ingested into supply chain for people who need furniture.
A nice looking Baby Jogger City Mini stroller. Just needs a quick rinse to get the dust off and it is ready for a new home.
These are most certainly bike shaped objects. I think the KSDA in foreground was assembled poorly and never ridden, probably just as well. We have no idea what OYMA Power is, but that is a piece of junk also.
These are perhaps usable for parts, but we have not the time or space so we passed them on to somebody more tolerant of garbage consumer goods.
A nice Trek Multitrack 7200 hybrid bike. The chain has jammed between the cluster and the spokes and broken 8 of them. There was also damage on the hub. No matter, new (old) rear wheel from spares and it is good to ride.
A chunky Thule bike rack for a 2 inch receiver. Pic shows it test mounted on such a mount point.
A random Huffy beach cruiser bike, all present and correct but had flat tires and some rust on the chrome when picked up. Ready to go now.
A random Dell Inspiron desktop, all present and correct but as yet untested and of unknown spec.
A random ugly lamp. Reason for discard was presumably the switch, which was not working. We replaced the switch and a put a salvage builb in it and passed on the entire thing to people who need it.
A random toaster oven, picked up to be cleaned, tested and sent straight to a charity that sets up housing.
A random deep Lodge cast iron pan, nothing special, not really used much, but handy. We hasve a pan of this form factor so this is available.
A Fuji Absolute LE hybrid bike. It has been ridden a fair bit, judging by the brake dust, but the owner of this bike immediately before us was an idiot. The front quick release was lacking the springs and was just cranked down by twisting the lever rather that using the quick release lever.
A random Trek 7300FX hybrid. It is a little dinged up and neglected while not having been ridden very much. It also seems the previous owner had a flat on the front and made some attempt to fix it but got confused and put the entire thing out in the trash. It now has a new front tube and is ridable. More tuneup activity will follow.
A random stainless steel All-Clad serving or cooking spoon. Nice enough but it has a funny profile in the bowl.
