looks like customer return / liquidation to me

Brilliant.
Great to hear your scrapping methods too! May not be big time like some on here but it fills the gaps when it counts... and that's what counts

Not all that long ago I got into buying customer returns and liquidated stock from a nearby national auction house (UK so won't bother saying who, and you never...

Unfortunatley I am nowadays the same with eBay. I used to be quite into selling on there, and buying in bulk for refurbishing things.
After dealing with the unwritten eBay policy of "The buyer is...

Any increase in major infrastructure investment is surely a good sign that material is being purchased and the economy will at the least float steady.
Seeing as its not another road (i.e. concrete)...

A quick look at some news articles today and it seems China might be looking to buy cheap materials once more.

I do have quite a for more piled up and scattered around. Combined with the other stuff I've gathered I'm most likely still not at a full load.
This is just the only picture I had to hand clearly...

Certainly like the idea of a .22 pellet gun. Fun and (with proper precautions) safe!
Pretty sure UK makes it harder to obtain and use a .22 than they do in America so may not be a quick fix....

For me it's all about proper disposal. I fear we are a crap country it comes to waste (didn't used to be the case). I'm by no means a big time scrapper and most of what I've collected has been...

Still cant seem to get pics uploading so a link will do for now :...

you are truly legendary, great contributions to a noob of electronics such as myself

A show most brits but maybe other won't know about. Scrapheap Challenge.

I think a well worded conversation may get that disposal fee dropped if they do indeed benefit.

Is it necessary to remove those shiny CD's? I thought the body and shiny disc all went in cast alum

Anyone thought of taking the bales and / or loose plastic to build structures such as a shed or lean to?
I'm considering using a load of printer paper feed trays I have left over from a bad...

streets in America sound very different to the uk. No room for that much loose furniture by the road, old fashioned narrow streets do have their downsides

Sorry to dig up a possibly dead thread but I need my 10 posts to post pics haha.

I get this when I click the link:

nice example of how a little thought goes a long way and some local knowledge can prove more useful than all the muscle in the world

Does this go for the little bits that connect power to printer also~?
If so I reckon insulated cable is how it shall stay

Thankyou.
I'm in Nottingham, currently regretting a lot of mistakes I've made with my hobby scraps in the past >_<

A few pictures uploading.
