My response was "not a purchase but......Went to local skip to get rid of bits and bobs. There was a perfect pine blanket box sitting there so I asked the guy what he was going to do with it. Lob it in the skip he said - lob it in the boot of my car I said. Also threw in a very old scrubbing board which was ready to be skipped. Lovely articles - price nil.

Those were the genuine days of recycling.

Go to the skip with something useless and come back with something you'd otherwise have to pay for.

Nowadays, I don't think you can do that.
