Thanks a lot Pete, appreciate all your support in 2024. Tune in Xmas day 8am for my Grinch Dumpster Diving (or watch back later 🙂) Merry Christmas you too 😁
Took a van load of stuff to a recycle plant with a buddy (he was helping someone move house and had a lot of crap to throw). All the different skips, for all the different materials. I'd just dumped a microwave in the 'small electricals' skip and another guy was dumpinf some stuff. He remarked, as he kinda carefully placed a very posh looking mirror, about 4' by 3' in the skip, that he didn't want to lob and break it as it still worked fine. The white painted bands around the perimeter illuminate, it's functional and undamaged. I went over and told my mate, we should get that, it's as good piece. He told me, you can't. Once it's in the skip, if you get caught taking anything out, you're barred from the recycle site and you might get nicked. That seemed a bit mad to me. As odds on, before the day was done, someone dumping into that skip was going to break that mirror. And the guys working at the recycle site, can be pretty petty and bureaucratic about things. All the paperwork and permits have to be in proper order, or they won't let you dump. So much good stuff gets ditched that could be reused rather than broken up for their materials. A lot of that stuff should be donated and used somewhere, rather than recycled.
I worked in a charity shop and couldn't stand the waste.
I love how you clean up things and give them a new life.
