Grabbed for a friend whose crazy old mother potters in the garden and needs something to assist her pottering. Note this has a tipping bed and ball bearing wheels. Pretty fancy.
These did not show up together, but an hour or so apart. First a set of fire irons, possibly with an interloper steel poker in there.
Next a set of heavy brass andirons.
A friend will be taking these and if he is late picking them up they will be scrapped for the brass.
A small nest of cast iron pans, including some older griswolds and such. To be investigated when we have the time.
This Brass bowl is quite thick and substantial. If you want it for your aspidistra or whatever let us know, otherwise it is scrap brass.
A Baby Jogger City Mini GT, all in very nice condition and ready for a new small human to be carried around.
One Uppababy Vista stroller in nice condition, complete with car seat holder attachment and hood for such. This was discarded in general waste, i.e. the pit, for those who know the particular location we found
We despair at the disgusting entitled laziness of many people in our vicinity. But not totally, as clearly we act as their environmental conscience.
Yet another Scotts reel lawn mower. Brand new, never used. It was shipped with some assembly required and the purchaser was utterly incompetent and made a half assed effort to assemble it. At this point they tossed the whole thing in the trash, minues a few small pieces. Once we had custody, we had to take out all the bolts and fix things up. The little retainer rings were missing for the handle mount but we got those at our friendly neighourhood hardware store and now have a new mower for anybody who needs one.
Reason for discard: customer too stupid for some assembly required.
A random Mongoose BMX. One broken pedal was an easy fix from our spares department. Shown after a quick wash to get the dust off.
Random Haro kids mountain bike. It is a little beat up but it may end up being used to stripped for parts.
A Boos butcher block. It has dried out and the joints have opened up a little on the top. This may become a chair or some other item, unless Brian wants it as his random extra chopping block.
It is not exactly the same, but similar to this one.
A nice Kelty Kids rucksck for carrying small lazy offspring around. Needs a clean but otherwise handy dandy.
A small Stanley Surform, in good condition, still sharp and useful so it will be tossed into the big drawer of files, rasps and surforms we have downstairs.
This Ryobi portable table saw has an issue with the blade tilt. If that is not easily solvable we will extract the blade and recycle the rest.
Yet another Maclaren Triump single seaat pushchair. Works fine, not even very dirty, should be good for somebody to use as soon as we can find such a person.
A BOB Revolution single jogger. The thing was in pristine condition, barely used, except for a nasty smear of (presumably) chocolate all over the harness straps.
We really have to question the parenting and economic wisdom of whoever owned this previously. Who gives kids chocolate in a stroller? Who buys a 450 USD stroller only to toss it away once it gets chocolate on it?
A nice example of a Perego Pliko P3 pushchair, all in very nice condition. Needs a clean and will be ready to go.
A random metal garbage can with lid. Seems brand new, never used. Garbage-ception, a new garbage can in the garbage.
Britax B-ready stroller, what a ridiculous name. Intended to suggest things I guess. It seems all present and correct and presumably somebody will want it to move their messy offspring around.
This Joovy Zoom 360 was in really nice condition except for terminal tears in the seat fabric. Not sure whether that is a design flaw or the result of user error. It turns out though that you can get a whole new fabric seat for 30 USD from their website. So, excellent, well done Joovy for providing reasonably priced parts support.
Pictured with the new fabric installed and ready for action. This is a good quality half price alternative to a BOB Revolution.
A medium sized Wagner cast iron span. Clean on the inside. Should prove useful to somebody.
