The Race for hard Waste- to sift or not to sift
The Race is on in the Kingston municipality to seek out the best bits of hard waste, the invaluable items once owned by residents,now left on the front naturestrips for collection by the council..
People from every area flock in the light of day,dead of night to the next suburb on the hard waste list.They drive by ,slowly eying their potential prey befor swiftly pouncing.
Professional Hard waste sifters have no morality. they will dismantle old bessy ,the ever faithfull washing machine ,in front of your eyes.,leaving her like a canibalized skeleton .
There is nothing you can't find during hard waste week.
Peolpe deposit snapshots of their lives and past loves ,fond memorobilia onto the naturestrip to be removed by Council, twice a year.
Hard waste sifters, outlawed from helping themselves , sneak around with trailers, utes and roofracks,keeping one eye out for the council man as they rummage through parts of your life that you no longer need.
If you are sat on the floor at home waiting for your container to arrive , then it can be a great advantage to you to become become a temporary sifter.
Tables, chairs, Singer sewing machines,chest of draws,pine dressers,sports equipment ,beds and bases all sit quietly together on every street awaiting rescue by a sifter.If they are not siftable then they sit and wait for HW Day, when the big truck takes them on a journey to the unknown.
So if you wish to become a sifter, there are some basic rules .:
1.Do the drive by at least once to check the area for CM(Council Man.)
2.If the coast is clear, swoop on the object of your desire with confidence.
3. Those twangs of guilt you will feel as you re appropriate, must not be allowed to get the better of you.It's like eating grapes in the supermarket.You must achieve that level of consciousness.
3.Remember that your eyes are bigger than your belly.You will lose all credibility if you try to load the queensize base into the back of a fiat panda.
4. Be decisive, don't dither.Select your target and strike.Whip him into the boot and drive off head held high.SIFT WITH CONFIDANCE !
5.Be prepared- sifting is like shopping, you never know what you're going to grab on impulse.A set of screwdrivers, lever and gloves will assist you greatly.Go equipped to sift.
6.Sifting is a great Australian tradition -up there with not celebrating the Queen's birthday on The Queen's Birthday public holiday and not being unable to remember the words of the national antham .
7. Remebmer that Council once banned you from collecting your own rain water-the times they are a changing.If you do get a ticket for an anauthorised sift, take it up to the highest court in the land to fight for the right to freely sift.A ground swell of closet sifters will support you all the way .One Man's waste...
Go on enjoy the rush,feel the anticipation and give someone's olds a new home..
Happy sifting .
