Sat 4 Oct 2014: Bring & Take in Memorial Hall
This event is in the past.
BRING items from between 9.30 and 11.00am and TAKE anything you want free of charge from between 10am and 12 noon.
BRING spare but usable items you no longer want: household items, clothes, children's toys, DVDs, books, bikes, curtains, paint, garden tools, flower & vegetable seeds, etc, etc.
Small electrical items can be brought along but they have to be PAT tested first on-site before they can be taken.
Bring a photo of large items to put on the notice board.
You can also bring along old spectacles, broken lightbulbs, waste CDs, VHS videos and put them in the boxes by the door so they can be recycled. We are also collecting bras for Oxfam's Big Bra Hunt, so please bring any along - whatever the condition - and put them in the big pink trug near the door.
Items are given and taken FREE so please respect this community spirit by not taking things for resale or scrap value. Leftovers are given to Blue Cross, the animal welfare charity that has its HQ at Burford.
PAINT
Paint needs to be in a usable condition and usable quantities. It needs to be in the container it was bought in; the container must be in good condition, with no leaks, and a secure fitting lid. We take anything left over on the day to Orinoco in Headington where it is used for the charity Oxford Community Repaint. They redistribute paint to community and voluntary groups and charities, but anyone can call in to the paintstore at Orinoco if they need paint.
Gloss/eggshell paints:
More than half litre in a 1 litre container
More than 2 litres in a larger (eg 5 litre) container
Emulsion paints:
1 litre or more
