A small army of uk.d-i-y regulars have expressed the desire to scavenge
at the dump in the UK but are prevented from doing so by H&S regulations.

is that truth or excuse though? How hard is it to sign a preprinted
waiver? How hard is it to buy electrical goods after showing evidence
of being in the trade? Etc.

And why is laying out the possibly saleable rubbish so much more
hazardous than it is when its done at jumble sales, second hand goods
shops and so on? I'm far from convinced.
