My cousin works at the local recycling depot where all the skips etc tip off, the ones from the council recycling places etc and skips, builders etc. he was showing me a gigantic pile of photos he's 'salvaged' my god the things people put in the bin ! Just a reminder to anyone out there that don't just think because you've binned it that it's gone forever ! |

Your cousin had better watch himself as taking items placed in the recycling centres belong to the Council and staff removing them can end up on the disciplinary route to dismissal. I know because this happened where I once worked. |

Yes I know, it's actually part of his job to go through everything and seperate things. Some of the things he sees is unreal. I know he's handed quite a lot of stuff to the police in the past, the darker side of things aside the point I was trying to make was to just bring to people's attention to make sure they dispose of things in the correct way. |

About 3 weeks after the New Year.. we watched a couple turn up at the recycling centre just after we strted emptying cardboard boxes etc..
The were dropping off about 200 quids worth of untouched booze.. must have expected a big party or something ??
Hubby had just said - I will take that off your hands and the council guy said he couldn't allow it.. Why ??

Some of them are like that because they can get in trouble. Same cousin has emptied 2 shipping containers full of booze out on the concrete pad and driven a bulldozer over it in front of the police. He's still heartbroken over it. I think it was from a big counterfeit raid or something. He can have whatever the boss tells him he can have because after the contractor delivers them to the place he works it belongs to his company. The council is just a middle man for want of a better expression. |

yeah your right - they had to tip it down the drain causing contamination to the water supply - and then recycle the empty containers !!!
we offered to put it down the drain via a different way altogether..
After all - It was supposed to be A Recycling Centre |

When I worked in the paper industry we had regular visits from the police who wanted to pulp confidential files. They also used to bring in boxes of hard core porn raided from sex shops before it was legal to sell it. The police would stand on the steps parallel with the conveyor belt, watching stoney faced as it all went into the pulper. They didn't realise half of it dropped through the belt into our waiting hands underneath. |
