Agree with your idea about men's shed. it's all right, isn't it? one of the tip ladies recently wrote to the paper to express her shock that good items were still ending up at the tip (where they don't belong) & that the community wants to do something about this asap. if the shed thing gets going it would be nice if i could find a way to express the idea to them. (seeing as how i am not a man). Unortunately, around the city, they definitely do not allow scavenging and it costs to enter. bummer/. but it costs either way, whether through rates or directly (or both). but one excellent thing about cities is that they do clean-up days so lots of good stuff can be taken away by interested parties before it even reaches the tip! in my town, people are very shy to take away any free stuff left out on the nature strip - so that method of passing things along doesn't really work here very well. whereas the same pile left where i used to live in sydney wouldn't last 10 minutes. :-) Another growing problem is that so much metal stuff is being thrown out that a few people are making a living driving the street and picking up any metal, so by the time it gets to the tip, it really is trash. well, again, that's really all that should be there, isn't it? (and even less of it would be good). kylie |
