I think the word 'streetcomber' is a more appropriate, and polite, appellation these days.

When the hard rubbish collection is on in our area, we go "shopping"

You guys are all lucky - or you picked great councils.
My council does not have hard rubbish pick up - so i have to go scouting, or just see something on a drive.Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? -- Sun Tzu

We put out an old wooden desk that was 'too small'.
Within a few days it had disappeared. We had not arranged a council pick up.
Funny thing is about ten years earlier it was sitting outside a house a couple of blocks away and I wheeled it to my place.
Recycling at its best.

Recycling Timber from the council cleanups
G'day Brett, I've found some of my best toymaking timber from the local council cleanup.
They only do it once a year up here on the mountains [dud council that we have].
I hate seeing old timber heading for the tip or the fire as so much of the old stuff is way better than I can buy or afford these days....
Cheers, crowie.

Indeed Peter. As I drove around Sydney, in my previous life, I was always on the lookout for potential firewood (my only real use of timber in that life).
Only thing left out the front now is the dark brown small shelves - it's been raining direcly onto the cut edge of the pineboard so I reckon they knackered. I could have put a plastic cover over the top, but there's a limit to my effort for the BMsc"recyclers". The shop display will have to satisfy them for this year.
