I beleive that in the UK, stuff in a skip/dumpster is deemed to belong to
whoever owns the dumpster, and that it's technically stealing to remove
it (whether it is stealing to remove it if you put it there in the first
place -- e.g. if you threw somethign out that you didn't mean to -- I
don't know. But knowing our crazy laws I could well believe it is).
Well dont tell West Sussex county council where i get lots of tech junk...
i.e. Crawley recycling depot, its just sitting there in metal cages and
noone seems bothered it you take a bit.
Two weeks ago i found a nice 1970's Bang Olufsen Stereo..
Amstrads, Sun, junk generic PC's alsorts. I suspect a lot of businesses
near there (London Gatwick Airport is 2 miles away) drop off there
excess weee stuff there.
