We had this stuff dumped in front of our rubbish skip during broad daylight on a workday.

It is a collection of stuff that is not at all related to what we accept for recycling.  There is some sort of cot, a paddle board, a bike pump (that might be ok), a home made toy train, and a few other things.  It is surprising that none of us noticed it being dumped given that we go in and out of the back door pretty regularly.

Does the person that dumped it think they are doing us a favour?  Well they are not!  A similar thing happens at the charity shops.  All sorts of things get dumped there that are of little or no value.

It seems that some people overlook a rational appraisal of the value of goods to justify dumping it for free.  In the case of this dumped stuff the value for resale is about 25 cents for the metal and the rest would unfortunately have to be sent to landfill.
