Does the whole world have "Hard Rubbish" or just Australia
richms:
Around here all the CRTS have the backs smashed in within minuites of going out so that some dole-bludging locals can get a bit of cash for it at the scrap metal guy. Shame really because I recon most of the tvs would have worked before that since the old wooden ones really did seem to go forever.
and it gets called inorganic collection here. Basically up to a cubic meter per household (never enforced since they have no idea who's is who's) and it has to be able to be handled by 2 guys, nothing car related and no stacking of stuff since different companies take different things.
And as always, its that time of the year when relatives from overseas come over and think we live in some 3rd world country where that happens all the time... lol

I had a mate find a working Op Wolf cab in hard rubbish last year........ he was rapt.
All it needed was a new lens for the gun.
Only prob he had was convincing the missus that it was going to stay!

For those of you who don't get to enjoy the aussie euphoria of hard rubbish I will explain.

Everyone in Australia, except for diverdown apparently, calls it "Council Cleanup".
I've had plenty of hard rubbish in my time but it's not the type you're talking about.
TOK:
They'll take this stuff one day a week where I live. Couches, bikes, lumber, things like the chandalier the other poster mentioned... Makes me feel kind of lucky if other people can only get rid of stuff like that once or twice a year.
There is a bi-annual thing where you can take things to them that can't go in the regular trash -tires, gallon cans of paint, refrigerators and air conditioners (freon), etc.
ChadTower:
That last part is hazardous materials... different issue. We have that too and I always manage to miss the day I'm supposed to bring it in. I have a can of gas/oil mix that I've been waiting to bring in for two years.
