During our never ending clean up duties, Robin had gathered a whole heap of various metal pieces. Old wire netting, a metal tray or two, a few copper pipes, some stainless steel and aluminium. Even an old brass basin. All very nondescript stuff really, and some of it covered in rust. Into the back of the 4WD it went, to go down to the metal recyclers.
Loaded up and ready to go
The workman sorted the metal into categories, and weighed each different type. This was Robin’s first trip to this facility, and he was pleasantly surprised to receive a moderate amount of cash for a load of old junk. Thanks to Derek for the metal disposal advice, otherwise the whole lot might well have ended up in the tip.
I’ve been sorting out and getting rid of stuff too today. Posted off two Trade Me (NZ version of EBay) parcels today to buyers of unwanted things I’ve found in the cupboards. It’s amazing just what I’m coming across tucked away in cupboards and drawers which I’d forgotten about. Then I delivered two big bags of clothes and books to the Hospice OP Shop. The way I look at it, each box or bag we get rid of, is one less that we have to pack and carry away when we leave! And of course, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
