The nest of tables seems a terrible waste. We put stuff like that on Freecycle or even just leave it at the end of the driveway - someone always wants it.
-
Our local recycling place has an area for good furniture, electrical items that still work, nik naks etc and which they sell on at very, very low prices.

If you stare long enough into the non recyclables, the non recyclables will stare back at you.
The ones around SE are grim, no matter how diligent i am about separating stuff they all end up in the same shit heap.

Going to the recycling centre.
It should be cathartic, but the level of waste just puts me in a massive mood.
"where should I put x?"
"non-recyclables mate"
"where should I put y?"
"non-recyclables mate"
"I've got this perfectly good z somebody could use, where should it go?"
"non-recyclables mate"
Go to put scrap wood in the wood, only to see loads of decent wood and a nest of coffee tables.
I know is easy to comment from a privileged position, and I've bought loads of shit from aliexpress over the years, but it does feel like if stuff was more expensive then it would be worth making it better and also be viable to repair.
