Two groups of dining chairs, one set of 4, quite modern and in perfect shape:
One older and nicer but needing a bit of a clean. There are also some problems with the finish on the legs and some other wear points, but those will be fine with some wax polish.
Dyson DC25 vacuum cleaner, was very dusty inside and out but seems to work fine.
Cleaned up, new filters on the way and will be deployed into a needful household within days
A Festool Systainer thingy bereft of the circular saw that was once inside. Instead it has a pile of crappy fireworks, crazy.
Some form of combustion event may befall the fireworks later.
A random Festool Sortainer thingy, complete with a few screws inside. Expensive thing to discard.
A brand new Felt Cafe8 bike that had presumably sat in the back of a garage for a few years. It was at the curb, brand new, never ridden. We put air in the tires and cleaned the dust off and it is good to go.
This solid wood dresser was on the curb for disposal. It is heavy, and one pull loop is missing but there is a replacement taped inside. Weird.
Already sent down the line to be made available to people who need it.
A Raleigh C30 hybrid bike. It had been crunched a little, possibly in a driveway incident. Fixed with used parts from the spares department and all ready to go.
A Samsung 54 inch flat screen TV. Works fine, no remote, no stand, no wall mount. I suspect somebody near us just got a 65 inch TV or some such.
This is a sodastream dressed up as a KitchenAid mixer. The bottle did not come with it but it seems otherwise in working condition.
A random little Dell monitor, will become ourt new testing display after the last one fell off the table saw and broke into pieces. The rigours of a cluttered multi-use workshop.
A random little HP ProDesk PC. 120G SSD and 8G RAM makes it quite usable. It is a clean install of Windows 7 on it so we suspect it was sanitized by the previous owner.
A couple of random reading lamps. After hunting around for bulbs where we found them from other less useful lamps, these two work fine and will be sent to people currently lampless.
And then a couple more lamps.
And then a couple more lamps.
We are not really fans of these things and have seen many discarded over the years that looked usable, but we never bothered with. It turns out that there is a outlet for them that we can funnel these towards. Hence we will now, starting with this one, pick up these things, test and clean them and send them off to people in need of such.
More resuse is good.
A Britax B=Free stroller. Nothing wrong with it and interestingly a friend speciifically requested a Britax of this rough type recently.
If you can shop to order in the waste stream you know there is too much stuff in it.
A pretty long extension cable. When it came to us it was bodge spliced onto another shorter cable with electrical tape. We got rid of that and just on put a nice matching orange socket.
It seems to have previously belonged to a painter.
A random 13 inch Ridgid brand thickness planer sitting by the side of the road. We blew off a lot of dust and such and plugged it in and it works. Probably needs new blades and some oil here and there but otherwise a pretty nice find.
Pic shows a test piece of wood we ran through it for testing purposes.
An Emglo compact compressor. It is pretty beat up but works well and puts out air. The bleed valve leaks and some other stuff is messy.
Giant Revel juvenile mountain bike thingy. Came to us with two flat tyres and really dirty. It turns out that you can pump up tyres and clean off dirt, but a bunch of poeple seems to not have picked up on this. where we found it.
A couple of pretty solid wooden nightstands with drawers. They were missing the handles but that was easy enough to fix and they will be off to furnish somebody's bedroom soon.
A chair for use at a breakfast bar or similar, we suppose. All very nice and already deployed into a house that has a distinct lack of chairs.
A couple of single beds of reasonably nice quality. They were mixed up with the ends of one found with the frame of the other etc. Weird.
All cleaned up and ready for new homes now.
A couple of assorted skillets, a nice stainless All-Clad and a random weirdly coloured non-stick, both in excellent condition.
A random Miele Swing H1 stick style vacuum. It works fine, and we have found a home for it already.
A random log splitter in usable condition. Will be going to the house of some friends so they can split their firewood this winter.
A maple extending dining table with matching chairs, along with two non matching chairs that end up looking pretty nice when they are all put together.
This will be used by a family moving to a house nearby whose furniture is currently subject to the whims of the global shipping system. After that, we will find another home for it.
A random Bonavita drop coffee machine. Works fine and has a thermal flask to keep coffee warm.
A random round dining table and 4 chairs. Quite dusty but otherwise in good shape. It is an extending model but we do not have the leaf to extend.
Now, cleaned up and going to a warehouse for furnishing homes of people who have need of furniture.
A random Haro BMX bike came to us with flat tires and a buggered up rear brake cable and housing. It turns out that if you put air in the tires, they are no longer flat, and if you us the correct length cable housing and adjust the brakes they work quite well.
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.
