[Martin Bush]

I will duck out of this after this post as I think the thread has gone off course somewhat.

I think the original thrust was the issue of valuable (to us) items being found at household waste recycling centres and the desire to rescue them from the waste system. Our view is, I think, that doing this would preserve irreplaceable items and parts and also prevent items becoming waste.

This is something I know about as I work for a waste disposal authority. I have suggested a route that could be explored and how it could work. This could help not only when a member happens to be fortunate enough to spot a TV or radio set, but whenever an item of that type appears at a waste centre.

If this idea is to be followed up I will need some support. It could come from this forum or I could sound out BVWS direct. Apart from one or two exceptions above I feel nobody has been interested or I've not been clear enough.
