Every 6 months the local Shires of Perth help residents have a clean up of their houses and gardens. Basically, area by area you are notified of when its your turn and it provides an opportunity to chuck out all your unwanted ietms and garden junk free gratis.
We all think its a great idea, as the amount you can dipose of is unlimited and I would think it prevents fly tipping.
What also happens is that you get 'cruisers', people who drive around the suburbs that are in the process of having this service, seeing if there is anything worth having! Honestly, and I'm not joking. Nothing illegal about it, but we saw a guy who was trying out a dining room table and six chairs!
We always have a good laugh about some of the stuff that is thrown out, as it looks like it should have been thrown out 20 years earlier.
The finest example is this sofa, I wouldn't of let Scruufy or Meg sit on it!! Would you?
