Good Morning Worlds!
We are going to the tip this morning. It will clear some of the stuff we sorted yesterday from the drive. I don't think we can clear it all unless we took the trailer, but the trailer is full of steel for weighing in.
Later I might carry on packing tote crates.

We are lucky that our local tip doesn't allow taking away.
I don't know if the scrap metal yard does. 🤔
The one I used to go to on the way to college did. I am sure I bought more from them than I ever weighed in.
@Maker_of_Things they don't let us take any old random stuff away... otherwise yesterday there was a strong chance I'd have gone home with a large curved glass shower screen that'd have made an awesome cold frame lid. (Though I didn't ask either.)
They have a shop on-site with selected goods available for purchase. Yesterday as well as the old Singer we got a couple of nice wide terracotta plant pots and a bowl. But at least we dropped off more stuff than we picked up 😅
@yvan
I think every tip or waste recycling site should have a shop for reusable stuff.
I think, locally, they do collect all the good stuff and take it to a warehouse where it is refurbished for reuse. But it is not really a 'general public' walk in thing, though they have an EBay page.
