I am amazed that some people take up space in skips with items that
could be so easily flattened - like flat pack furniture - kitchen

Seen yesterday at the roadside in the hope that the bin men will
take it - a cheap wardrobe. A quick kick and it would fit into the
wheelie bin

Sometimes stuff is left by the roadside in case someone else wants
it - it's surprising how often someone does. It's a kind of
informal recycling scheme.

Round here it's quicker doing just that than relying on the local
council to organise collection.
*Anything* electrical, working or not goes out the front, within
half a day, often under 2 hours it's "Collected" by the local pikey
mob. NW Kent, slightly rural.

...only to get discarded again at a nearby beauty-spot!

The local scrappy for beer vouchers more likely.
