Rag & Bone?
Hi Have a load of rubbish to dispose of - anyone know of any local rag & bone men. Have seen some wondering around at times in the past.

One has just this second gone past my house. 2 men in a truck ringing a bell.
I am guessing this is not helping much......

Just put something with some value at the front of the house and lay in wait - its amazing how they can sniff out copper or electrical goods! I've managed to get rid of some old electrical stuff in the past six months plus one item that I didn't want to get rid of but that's a lesson learnt!

It was on the edge of Sele Farm. I have heard it before and it must have been a Monday (I work at home on a Monday) but don't think it is weekly. If you want, next time I hear them I can run out and direct them to your way?

Maybe too late, but I'm in Bengeo and the bell ringing totty man comes round regularly.
Golden is absolutely right. 6 months ago we paid the council £20+ to remove 3 old fridges/freezers. We put them in the front garden on the appointed day and when we got home they had been taken. Then the council lady phoned to ask us why we hadn't put them out!
Clearly 'someone' knows the day that the council collect bulky items and dives in before them. Needless to say the council refused to refund our money, despite the fact that they'd not taken anything away!
