All that useful stuff "One man's meat is another man's poison." Talking about rubbish, the richest rubbish dump I came across was in Gove, N.T. My friend who was the health plane pilot was a top tip scrounger.
He made a nice little sideline in collecting mowing machines fixing them up and selling them. His best scoop was, though, an old VW Beetle he found at the tip. The battery was flat, so he rushed back home, collected a battery and his wife to drive his car home, put in the battery and drove it home with the petrol that was still in the tank
. He sold it shortly afterwards for $400
That's not all! being the pilot of the health plane, whenever he was out in the outstations say on dental clinic day, he would stooge around the rubbish tip. He collected several good car engines, doors and all sorts - all airfreighted free back to Gove!!!
