I like throw-out time, but not for what I can get. With the junk we've accumulated it is better to give than to receive. The metal recyclers around here are very industrious and any metal waste only lasts a day or so.
My only concern is that my wife has a real bee in her bonnet about getting rid of 'junk'. I have to check the pile to see whether anything of value (to me) is there. I fear that one day I'll find myself neatly bundled up and sitting on the kerb, and no one will want to recycle this old codger.
