Man going through bins on Ivanhoe road

[Fox_tail]

Hi, if there is already a thread for this then feel free to take it down, iv had a guy rooting our bin every other day on Ivanhoe road, I went out and asked him what he was doing he kindly told me to f**k off! Then spun round and shouted something in Romanian I think to his mate who was doing the same on the other side of the road, I personally don't give a toss if someone wants to go rummage through my bin! But just a heads up!

Problem is on Ivanhoe Rd is that most of the bins are on the street, rather than your own private property. So I don't think there's much you can do about it... just be careful when disposing of documents, etc.

When I lived on Ivanhoe Rd, our neighbour used to put used nappies straight into the wheelie bin, un-bagged. The smell was something else... maybe it was their method of deterrent?

Ha! That's rank! Yeah the guy was quite aggressive! And I was far to hungover to be arguing! But as I said, just a heads up!

Identity theft may not be the intention, but worth knowing about.

Happening all over, they're looking for old clothes to send to Romania, was out there last month and there's lots of "second hand" shops selling old clothes.

I see guys carefully combing through clothes from overflowing clothing recycling points and neatly folding and packing the choice bits on occasional evenings.

Bit different to street bin diving though, each to their own I guess.

They are probably flogging it on ebay judging by the state of the creased and tatty stuff that some people try to sell
