Containers for Good (CFG) are Great!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
But, for the sake of the recipients, we need to be mindful of their needs and their capacity to handle the things we send them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Here in their own words are their preferences<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things we really need<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Concentrating on tools and machinery for woodworking, car repairs\/ mechanical stuff, gardening, and building equipment is our core ‘business’. ladders, barrows, mowers (in working order), power cords……<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things that are nice and always welcome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Anything that works as a storage unit\/shelving unit etc.,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Almost anything of quality that is useful will get taken by someone, but we don’t want to fill the container with furniture at the expense of tools etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anything ‘tradie’- many lost all their gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things we just don’t want<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Broken stuff, tatty furniture, cordless tools with dead batteries, missing chargers, frayed wiring etc. etc unless item is of a quality worth repairing, or has intrinsic value as an old tool to hang on the wall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not really chasing toys, so thanks, but no thanks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have a container of used curtains, carpets, bed linen, crockery etc. but can always use new stuff. Our rule for this is: Clean and in good condition. If you wouldn’t<\/em> use it yourself, then we probably won’t either<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are not after ‘Vinnies’ type stuff <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
