RUBBISH

It is surprising what you can find in dustbins. A short time ago the Camden dustmen went on strike, because the authorities were going to prevent them from sorting through the rubbish for things they might sell. In the Daily Mirror of 4th November, Christopher Ward wrote an amusing article on the contents of 5 dustbins.
'I was walking along Carnaby Street at three o'clock the other morning when I met a well-dressed man with his head in a dustbin. Carnaby Street is always a good place for a laugh at someone else's expense, and I certainly wasn't going to miss 10 this one. But before I could offer to put the lid on for him, he emerged from the bin triumphantly holding a John Stephen Flower Power jacket.
'Fabulous, isn't it?' he said, dusting down his prize. 'I get
all my clothes like this - except my underwear of course.'    
'What else have you found in dustbins?' I asked. The man put the lid back on the bin and sat on it.
'You see this shirt? Well, it came from Simpson's dustbin.
My tie and matching silk handkerchief were in a dustbin in
Wardour Street.'    
'Those shoes you're wearing, they're very smart too,' I said.
'They come from a dustbin in Regent Street. I even got a six-month guarantee with them. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go. If I stay here all night talking to you, someone else   25 will get all the good things before me.'
As soon as he had gone, two Hippies came round the corner and started to look through what was left in the bin. To my sur¬prise, they discovered an ivory paper-knife and a long piece of silk. They seemed disappointed that they hadn't found at least    four Hardy Amies suits.

I explained that someone had been there before them. They didn't mind. There was plenty for everybody. One of them said that a short time ago, they had put on a play with a cast of thirty and all the costumes had come out of the dustbins in Carnaby    Street.'
Christopher Ward does warn his readers that it is illegal to steal from dustbins. 'The reasons are obvious. For a start, Carn¬aby Street shopkeepers would be ruined if everyone helped
himself to a binful of rubbish round the back, instead of buying it over the counter.
You can imagine what the dustmen must think of all this stealing. When they arrive, there's nothing but rubbish left.'
