Local ritual

Annual hard rubbish collection tomorrow in my neighbourhood, which means today (1) putting unwanted items on street outside house (2) waiting for the roaming recyclers/ scavengers/ gleaners/ totters to remove whatever they think they might be able to use. Stage (3) is tomorrow, or the day after, when the council (or their contractors) will remove what is left (IMO about half of what was originally put out).
