As a by the way I have kept copper wire for years stripping the outside off and rolling the wire up, and putting the rubber/plastic into the dustbin and now into the recycling bin. I have a lot of wire, thinking it would pay for a trip to Australia! Well it would have done 30 years ago, but not now. Every time I scrapped a kettle or whatever off came the flex and the same with old electric motors, my main stripping time now being when I am in bed! I didn't realise the dangers associated with microwaves, but luckily never had one till I knew about their hazards and so only take the leads. I am sure the quantity of copper I have will make the scrap men 'look up'. It all stems from having nothing but a loving mother and home-father died young, so I did all I could for her, and became a hoarder and collector-gannet I think they call it-with a view to helping as an 8yo. I used to get the manure the delivery horses left in piles in the road for 3d or1.25p in today's money
I also collect wood mainly from pallets and have a large amount in various forms and sizes, covering about 30ft by 40ft. stacked up. I add to it and take from it as needed,selling it where I can, in whatever form I can and make various things. All stems from the time when I had nothing but enthusiasm. |
