Free Couch on Paulina Street

Hey Neighbors,

Free - an IKEA sectional type couch, super comfy, breaks down flat, and has given us years of quality service. The fabris is a little dinged up but not abused. It could use new pillow covers or a good steam clean. The picture below shows it setup; it's now broken down for easy take-away in front of 20 Paulina Street (just a few doors from Holland Ave, half way between Davis and Teele Squares). I'll update this post when its gone. Happy Sunday.

Places to drop household compost?

Hi all,

My husband and I recently moved from near Inman Square to nearer Porter/Davis. We haven't set up a compost bin yet at our new place, though we hope to be able to soon. I know the Whole Foods on Prospect St. in Cambridge (near Central) takes household compost, and during the winter the farmer's market at the Armory will... but are there any other places (nearer than that Whole Foods) that will accept compost during the summer?

(Worst case, me and the compost will take a little trip on the 83 bus this afternoon...)

another free couch

A Workbench (remember that store?) couch. It will be on the curb on Dudley St in Cambridge (not too far from Davis Sq), just across Mass Ave not far from the Greek Corner.

Curb alert: Free flower pots, functional inefficient AC

On the curb in front of 24 Washburn Ave, North Cambridge: Five or six small plastic flowerpots. Too small for tomatoes but perfect for flowers. 

Also an Emerson Quiet-Kool window-mount air conditioner. This is a pre-EnergySTAR unit, so I'm guessing it's wildly inefficient. It was functional last summer before I stuck it in the basement swearing never to carry it upstairs again, although it's not all that powerful given how enormously heavy it is. It's probably best used for scrap metal, but if you really want to destroy your back, your electric bill, the environment, and possibly your window-sills, have at it. 

Artbeat - Cutting board guy?

Does anybody know the guy who was selling the wooden chopping boards, etc at the Artbeat? I'm having "didn't buyer's remorse." Does he have a site or anything?
