On a warm cloud-gloom morning, we transported another collection of garden refuse to Efford Recycling Centre.
We returned with a shower stool and a marble topped table both of which will now be used in the garden, until, like the other broken metal items, they return to from whence they came. That is real recycling.
Fortunately the rain kept off while we were doing our dump run, but set in thereafter for the day. I therefore began reading ‘The High Path’ by Ted Walker.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s wholesome chicken stewp with fresh bread. Hacienda Uvanis Garnacha Old Vines 2020 accompanied my portion.
Ilike your recycling and repurposing program, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
Ditto
Thank you both very much
Have you two ever made a deposit without a corresponding pickup? It really is a recycling trip.
Not very often, Pat. Thanks a lot
Real recycling indeed! They must know you both there. 🙂
Thanks very much, Merril. They do
What a day for scoring Derrick! The best part was Jackie’s dinner!
Thank you very much, Diane
I love recycling. Would do more if we had more space. 😉
Thank you very much, Chrissy
We were at our council tip on Saturday; next time I’ll take more notice on what’s on offer.
Thanks very much, Sue
Your return collection items are far more interesting than your refuse collections, Derrick 🤗
An example of the circular economy.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal

A good one, Eugi. Thank you very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Now that’s the spirit.
Thanks very much, Bridget
Sounds like a productive day!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I like the drop off and buy convenience Efford Recycling Centre offers. Recycle on!
Thank you very much, JoAnna
The metal needs a thorough scrubbing and a quote of white paint, and in which case, it has found the right home.
Thank you so much, Uma
I have been impressed by the recycling centres I have seen in both the UK and Norway. Sadly, we have nothing like that here.
Thank you very much, Anne
Sounds like a productive day! It’s great that you found some useful items while recycling. Enjoy your reading and that delicious chicken stew!
Thank you so much, Ilze
Way to go! A fabulously productive day! 🙂
And you made some good finds!
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thank you very much, Carolyn XX
Yay for recycling! Good for the pocketbook and for the planet.
I looked at the header and thought “Why are they getting rid of those?” But you weren’t. order is restored and my mental palpitations are stilled. Nice bit of recycling. 🙂
Thank you very much, Quercus

That marble topped table sounds like a great find. I am always glad to see items “upcycled” and reused as much as possible.
Thank you very much, Lavinia
If only we all could do a bit more of this real life recycling
Thank you very much, Gary
Well young fella, I saw the wrought iron table in the boot of your car and my first thought was, ‘why would Derrick throw that away?’ Then I read further and I thought, “That was a good find.”
Thanks a lot, John. I is now in its place in the garden
A good exchange 🙂
Thank you very much, Riba
