I must be getting old because waste is something that really gets on my wick. Other than the layers upon layer of plastic that everything is now covered in, some of the stuff businesses bin is unbelievable. A friend used to work for one of the big civil engineering firms on the railways, anything left over from a job would just get skipped even if new.
I discovered a local business that makes large industrial metal products. Most of their materials come in on large pallets, of which 80% get dumped in a pile. These pallets tend to be large and made of proper solid lengths of timber. They are only too happy to let me strip the pallets and fill my boots. I took away about four trailer loads about 18 months ago and built a shed...
..rebuilt our conservatory and made loads of other random stuff. My dearest required a field shelter for her donkey and as stocks were getting low I've just come back with a second trailer load. There's at least another four loads of perfectly useable timber and probably another four that could be used in the woodburner, it's frightening.
