I just picked up a 68 cm flat screen CRT, perfect condition makes a nice little addition for my room. Can't afford to go get a big LCD atm.

We picked up an LCD monitor last year. Also got an IBM pc this year, just sitting there. Good stuff if you have a look, society is very throw away these days.

we dont get hard rubbish so i never get see any of this stuff.

however if we got to keep/sell the left overs from work (industrial electrical works.....)... =P
if your wondering, copper is about $7 a kilo striped or bare, thats why every man and his dog wants to steal it and scrap it.

there is good money to be made from recycling metals and the more you sort the more you make.
some of you may think it is funny that these scabs are out there taking RUBBISH, but believe me when done right you can make more than a weeks pay +, in one night easily.
and to the OP I scabed an big old welder and to very heavy transformers 3hrs stripping and down to the scrap yard $620.
btw an old copper hot water tank is worth around $80 when the metal prices are right.

We get 4 domestic waste clean ups a year, we can book the council clean up to come pick up bulky waste so long as it isn't building materials, car parts and a few other items. We have never used the service and it shits me that there are so many wankers in our neighbourhood that just throw their **** out on the nature strip without even booking a council clean up. The **** sits there for weeks and kids scrounge through the **** and it ends up all over the damn place and in the reserve next door. I've been so tempted to throw some petrol over a couple of these repeat offenders piles and throw a match on them and they can have a bonfire in their front yard instead of a pile of **** all over our street.
