Free basement salvage
by Ben Schenck 26 Dec '21

26 Dec '21

HP neighbors, my basement has become a miniature construction junction over the past few years. I’m going to give CJ a call this week and throw away what they don’t want. Let me know if you want anything. - A bunch (20?) of aluminum storm windows and matching screens - 30ish balusters, two different types, some in good shape; others not - a toilet (maybe 1940s or 50s?) - spare chunks of cement board and drywall (biggest are about half a sheet) - a bike that works but needs TLC - a couple of weed eaters that almost work Ben

collect Brita filters for recycling?
by Steven Rine 24 Dec '21

24 Dec '21

Does anyone know of a person/place locally that already collects Brita filters for recycling? (Background - According to brita.com and terracycle.com, you have to have five pounds' worth before they will pay for shipping. It would take years to accumulate that much by myself. Just wondering if there's any existing local collection stream to which I could contribute.)

2021 Christmas Bird Count
by Jill Weiss 24 Dec '21

24 Dec '21

FYIPlease see below the information about this year's bird count. I have participated the past few years by counting the birds at our back yard feeder. This is acceptable as well as roaming Highland Park and counting as well. No experience needed! *The 122nd Pittsburgh Christmas Bird Count will be held on January 1, 2022* The recent publication entitled “Decline of the North American avifauna” spotlighted the importance of bird monitoring. The remarkable trend data of Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is used to measure changes in the environment and in bird populations throughout the continent. This information paints a clear picture of bird distribution and abundance, and in the case of the publication, aids in the understanding of the urgency of bird conservation. The success of the CBC and the availability of this data relies on people like you! Please consider joining us for the 2021 Christmas Bird Count on January 1, 2022. Participation is free and experience is not necessary – new birdwatchers can be teamed up with experienced birdwatchers. Counting birds at feeders is also an important part of this count, so you don’t even have to leave your home! Please contact your nearest leader from the list below to get started.

Anthropologie/Gee's Bend Collaboration Quilt https://www.arts.gov/stories/blog/2015/quilts-gees-bend-slideshow Never used Hand sewn 83" x 93" Full size Shown on daybed folded in half. Could also be used as a wall hanging. $200 cash 2 IKEA Sanela 26" x 26" Velvet Pillow Covers Never used. Just removed 2 from packaging. Third one had only been used for color matching. Older style (i.e., more expensive to produce) with better quality velvet and cord/piping along edges. I believe the cotton velvet is also better quality than the current Sanela fabric. It's very hard to find this size in stock at IKEA.
