We covered our whole nature strip last time with scrap metal waste. One guy took nearly all of it in 2 trips, his trailer was piled so high we were worried he'd lose half it when he drove off

I know a Lady, that actually decorated her entire home with "Hard Rubbish" . BTW it looked fabulous. She used to hurtle around, have a looksee at what was there, grab itand off she'd go. It took well over a year to do but cost her Zero $. People would often go out to her and say "Would you like this also" . Wish I had her OOOMPH. 🙂  Amazing what people would toss out. 

I have made an in-depth observation of hard waste for Council collection.

The lower economic areas have more plastic rubbish toys/outdoor furniture; and foam-type lounges.  

The middle areas have old fridges, bbqs, wooden furniture, electrical appliances.

The high economic areas have almost nothing. 

In our area, a fellow with a trailer travels around with his tool kit.  He collects electrical leads (for copper) and removes the motors from fridges, etc. and takes any hard metal.  

I admit to collecting an old ornate flyscreen door.  It is now a piece of art in the garden which a mandevilla vine is utilising.

I've always said rich people don't have rubbish.

Wonder if they have a junk drawer in the kitchen?
