They do the scavenging and display any potentially good stuff. Pricing is dependant on which guy you ask and there are no price stickers. It pretty much depends on the size of your haul and mood of the person you deal with. Pricing is negotiable and they always ask if that sound ok to you. Anyone dumping material has to pay a fee, I think it is a minimum of $10 and goes up with bigger volumes. If you are dumping anything that is recyclable it is free as long as you sort it into the various areas. There is a huge metals recycling area which you are allowed to visit and retrieve stuff. The dump shop is well frequented and people disposing of goods now always pass it by the guys working there to see if they think there are any valuable items. Part of my haul came straight off the back of the truck of a retired builder who was cleaning out his shed. He had stopped at the shop and the stuff went straight into the shop and into my hands. Timing is everything. Most Dumps now have these recycling shops but some are just too expensive and don't shift the material quickly. Our guys have the philosophy of moving stuff out quickly by making it cheap.

Is that right? Does the staff at your dump sort out potential good stuff and have a little 'shop' where it is displayed for sale? Here we are not allowed to scavenge for anything at the land fill and even tons of good re-usable stuff is just buried. There is minimum re-cycling from the land fill and we even have to pay $5 to take a load in a car or ute. <br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
