Aug. 5th, 2013 04:25 pmThis is my contribution to the current Bulk Waste Pick Up. Everything I put out today and last Sunday. Today's the due date, but normally it doesn't officially get picked up until the Thursday after, but anyone can (and does) come along to scavenge stuff.
This includes: a remnant of an old gate that was here when I moved in late 1997; Old rusty fireplace screen; My old mountain bike, which was always hard to ride and with my dodgy knee I doubt I can any more (I tried to GIVE THIS AWAY last year but it just wouldn't fit in my friend's car); , What was left of a "L-shaped" sofa from a boarder who left over ten years ago; plastic bread and milk cartons scavenged from bush walks; Jenny's old computer which was given to me after she died; some other computer tower, lately used to stand a working tower on so that it would be waist height; a HiFi stereo cabinet (minus stereo, which was transistor powered and went out in the last pick-up); and a speaker box I used as a cat seat near the back fence.
Half of this is already gone! Of course everyone else in the street's put stuff out as well.
I scavenged: a fold-out sofa-bed as a garden sofa; a wooden seat which after painted will make a good garden seat; and a pantry cabinet with its doors ripped off that will make a good bookcase. If I hurry I can swap the books over and chuck out the old bookcase that finally collapsed under the weight it held (cheap construction, I've only owned it for 21 years)!
And I uploaded this video I made yesterday to Youtube.
