It was rubbish day here yesterday. I was wandering out to work and noticed that my neighbours rubbish sack had a nice block of polystrene packaging (I must point out that our rubbish sack are clear so the recycleing Nazis can inspect it). I took a lot of control not to go and rip the sack open to liberate the packaging! Even worse is work when I spot huge sheets of hard foam packaging. I want to grab it and do a runner soooo much! I think I might need help!

Good to see your sessions are paying off. Just keep asking yourself, WWJD, and it'll be alright! |

You bunch of girls! Ya'll don't even deserve to be called Scavengers. I see pieces of Form Insulation blowing across the road or laying in a field and do the proper thing collect it for recycle in my garage. Now as long as my missus doesn't see me drag in another sheet I'll be okay...

I used to be like that - scavenge anything. My collection of junk for terrain is quite large and I never seem to have time to build everything I want (or places to store it! ). I have a 18 month rule now - if its not been used in 18 months (unless its collecting for a special) then I chuck it out (recycle). Its either that or get divorced!

Then it hangs around here for eternity or until I lose interest in the project.

Do you put a "best use by" date on the material and kick it out if it expires? May personal experience with putting a "best used by" is that the very next day after the garbage pick up I need the material! |

Guilty! I've locked-up the breaks more than once to "pro-actively recycle" some choice bits of strangers' trash. And the boss wonders why I volunteer to do the garbage runs at work. You know how much cool crap there is in the recycling center? One time I came back with more stuff than I left with. The boss just shakes his head and doesn't ask, though he does require that I take it with me at the end of my day.

I use to salvage all sorts of packing and pieces from the trash when I worked as a janitor for the local government. We would have to dump 8 buildings worth of garbage every night in 3 different dumpsters. One time I managed to find a massive pile of what I think were plastic file cabinet parts, i still have about half of them left. They make for great free I beams. Another time I found a perfectly good pair of black welding goggles! I miss that job.
