Community Recycling Centres at Grimsby and Immingham have had the fair share of oddities dumped by North East Lincolnshire residents.
They’ve included a random selection of items including:
- A 1914 German World War One bombshell made into a coal bucket
- A Sinclair C5
- A children’s tandem bicycle
- A 1940s American wooden bobsleigh
- Stuffed ducks
- Replica electric chair
Operators have come across all sorts like a small vintage battery powered bike; two brand new zebra print bar stools and even some nostalgic Street Sharks toys from the late 90s cartoon programme.
Some of these items were also available to purchase on site with Bric-A-Brac and Bike Sales available daily with proceeds going to local charities.
Cllr Stewart Swinburn, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Transport added: “Our Community Recycling Centres are exceptional in helping achieve the Council’s aims for the local environment.
“Reselling these items and finding a new use for them helps to promote our goal of becoming more sustainable.
“What the teams are doing by giving these proceeds to local charities is fantastic too. It’s a great example of how they go that extra mile for the people of North East Lincolnshire.”
