What's the best thing you have picked up in a council clean-up?

Australians love a kerbside find. And when your whole suburb gets in on it, the event can become quite a community builder.


Tell us about your best roadside acquisition you've made. Maybe it was an old couch you reupholstered, a perfectly good IKEA expedit, or even a box of free DVDs.


(Include photos if you can!)

    Best thing I have got would DEFINITELY have to be a beautiful old bookshelf. It now sits in my loungeroom and I keep all of my special objects and books on it. Always looking for special finds at council clean ups .. i used to be sceptical but not since i found that treasure!!!!

    BTW, I just sold this couch for $100 on gumtree after picking it up off the road for free!

    PS, we were out walking and I sent my daughter home for the car and stood next too it so I wouldn't lose it, it is so heavy and we were all sick with the flu, but has cleaned up beautifully and Lucy is 2 and loves it, the little boy's whose it was (originally his sister who was then 13) was a bit sad but mum said it was time it found a new home and how the new little girl would enjoy it, he came out and had a chat with me whilst I was holding my ground, I popped a thankyou card and a target voucher in his letter box a few days later, I just hope he got it

    I once found a bar cart. Not as good as what you found, Wuff!

    Fantastic kitchen play set! Love the mixer, the clean lines of the design and especially the colours. Congratulations on a great find!
