Recycling

Here in Sydney, I don't know about the rest of Australia, people leave stuff they no longer want on the street. They don't throw it in the garbage, instead they put the stuff out on the pavement in front of their house. This can be any old stuff that the owners don't have use of anymore. Example;
A few weeks ago we had to clean out our patio because the floor was going to be ripped off and renewed. We simply put the stuff we no longer wanted (almost all of it) out on the street, including chairs, pots, a broken umbrella, fake grass etc. I was then watching in amusement how people walked past and picked up our stuff. It looked like some people where on their way home from work but just couldn't resist grabbing a chair or pot because it was free. Recycling at its best!

Some junk left out on our street the other day. I bet it didn't stay there for long!:)
