Will post another list later.

I'm struggling with electrical items - old plugs, transformer from old Christmas tree lights, light bulbs etc because I don't think I should just put these in the bin and no car to take them to the tip. So they just mount up.

Frogletina - could you put them on freecycle? You'd be surprised at what people will come and pick up for free

My local council takes away electrical items and they don't count as part of your uplifts (we get 3 free a year), its worth phoning them. Certainly mine want to keep them out of landfill and thats why they have that policy.

Doing a bit of late-night decluttering in the bedroom. Oo-er missus!

84 - 78. Various toiletries which smell funny or have gone lumpy (bleurgh!) mainly sun cream/self-tan.`

Well the customs considered my see-through bag too large, so had to transfer to a smaller bag, so had to choose some items to jettison. Annoying thing is I used the same bag at the same airport at the end of November and they were ok with it

The exact same thing has happened to me before - I always use the same size ziplock bag, but one time they insisted it was too big and to tip it out into a smaller one...

Someone on Freegle might want the plugs and transformer - I also have some telephone wire for an extension - not sure if anyone uses it these days of cordless and mobile phones. As well I have a work top that someone might want but have no idea how to describe it - perhaps I will have to take a photo of it.

No one would want the light bulbs - I have just checked and it looks as if I can just throw these in the household bin.

Hello all, please can I join in? I found the 2014 thread late last year and found it very helpful. I'll reset the counter for this year.

I have bagged up a big pile of stuff to take to the charity shop and recycling centre tomorrow but I won't count it on here until it's left my home.
