Must get onto my local/regional council, though the main tip is in conjunction with a landfill site, and not like any urban 'tip' I've ever visited.
If there is 'no market for secondhand goods', that explains their shortage. Most of what I have is secondhand, but I haven't had any really good finds for quite a while. Skips in posh / upcoming areas can be really good - in the last few years, I've had a sofa, a carpet, a kitchen cupboard and a large wicker laundry basket. Size of vehicle and solo skip-diving limited what could be taken : I had to leave behind perfectly good timber, doors, etc.
I've also wondered why charity shops are not as good as they used to be. My theory was that the quality of clothing had gone down, so when clothes were knackered, they really were. But then folk seem to chuck stuff out much more readily these days, so that shouldn't apply. |
