It drove me crazy when i was waken up by a rag-and-bone man every Sat and Sun morning.

have you had this kind of experience?

Yes, every weekend. Guess the guy never had a real job and doesn't know how to appreciate a sleepy morning on weekends. Sometimes I scold him for waking up my baby with his bell and yelling. Doesn't help, though.

I thought he didnt come around 'til after 9.30 or 10am. I quite like his little song when I am having my morning coffee, and after all, us lamma greenies can’t shoot a recycler, can we. Maybe you could try tossing him your old CRT TV from the balcony though.

He gave me $50 for my old CRT TV about four years ago, but he doesn't want them any more, even gratis.
There's a big pile of monster CRT TVs behind the collection point just before the Lily Pond construction site.

But he takes computers, and all kinds of electrical stuff. Especially heavy copper wire. Good to see all the toxic junk being recycled and not going into the landfill.

There are a few "E-Waste" collection bins for the government's scheme around, but I have my doubts they really recycle, and of course they don't pay you anything.
