I worked my local dump – sorry 'Civic Amenity Site' – for one summer back when I was a student. I was often amazed at the things people threw away, although living in a relatively affluent area I shouldn't really have been surprised, I suppose. This was back when things were much more relaxed when it came to people buying stuff – in fact I'd say the site 'supervisor' spent 95% of his time keeping at eye out for stuff he could collect or flog. Needless to say I was paid cash in hand, and also got to keep a few things myself. I didn't get any bikes as unfortunately back then I wasn't that interested, but I still have and often use the nice Thorens turntable I took home, plus various records - this being before vinyl became desirable again, and people often just threw away their old record collections, having replaced them with CDs. How times change...
