There should be a charity shop at each of these dumps, where you could donate all the things, that could still be of use! Its actually insane to just throw out perfectly nice things, like that 😑

I agree, at least let ppl have the chance to grab things before they get crushed. Maybe, as the cars bring stuff to the recycle centre, let ppl have the chance to save them before entering the centre.

Charity shops have limited space and they only take on items that are instantly usable without doing anything to them.

Where I'm from, people leave such things on the curb for garbage pickup. Once at the curb, the things legally belong to the town. The town's garbage collectors take the things away; the department sells them, and uses the money raised to fund the garbage collection service, which lowers our municipal taxes.

Wouldn’t be good for ~~ capitalism ~~~.

The item that Sarah and the young man didn't know what it was is called a gentleman's valet, shoes were on the bottom the suit was hung over the coat-hanger section, the tie and hat would be placed on the oval piece, what a find.

My elderly English Dad still has his. All my life it stood in his bedroom. Everyday when Dad came home from the office, he hung up his suit on it.

I adore the chairs 💜💚💙

I'd forgotten I'd seen this one a long time ago, so it was a refresher watching it again!

I actually cried out when I saw perfectly good dishware and cannisters just being smashed in that dumpster....just because their owner didnt want them. Im sure someone just setting up housekeeping could have used them. Especially since money is tight today.

Exactly. There should be an area where they can put such things where they won't get broken.

I love what you're doing. Taking junqueing to a whole new level. Bang on, gal!!

The only thing that i would have done with those manhole covers would have been to join them,power coat them,put glass on top,a fabulous wooden base and large metal wheels. What a coffee table. Jusf wowww. What he did with them them was beyond horrendous.

Agreed!

I must not be in style, the chairs were lovely and would be nice with a grey or tan covering, but purple and green. 😮😮

I liked the purple and green (but the green should have been gloss) but not that nasty white strip on the backs. That ruined it. There was nothing high-end classy about it at all.

Agreed. I think if they would have been restored, they would be more valuable. Mid century modern in good shape is quite expensive.

Color assault on those once beautiful chairs. Hideous

I would have put a glass top on the metal covers/tables--- to even out the irregular surface!

The best recycling plant that i saw was in East Hampton, NY. All large items were put under a large roof instead of a skip. The area was always empty and clean,because just as soon as someone put something there,someone else would collect it. Quite frankly to throw such lovely items in a skip is heartbreaking and wasteful.

Those man holecovers, just clean then, paint them a brass or copper color and they are perfect in someone's garden walk way or as a wonderful garden chair(s).

Great show! There’s so much creativity involved & this craft people are extremely talented & skilled!! ❓I wonder why people can’t just offer up their old chairs, because someone can always use them, after a good clean, restoring them or transforming them into something different? ❓How is it possible that there isn’t a RECYCLING SECTION at this dump lot? Or an Artist supply lot for Art Students & Professional Artist to access & use??

I wonder how much money you would get for the manhole covers if they were taken for metal scraps?

Saw this long ago. Remember Sarah trying to flog the suit stand without success.

We had a super recycle store. The landlord raised the rent, so it closed 😢😢

Sara, ❤️ Please be sensible while selecting the junk for reusable purpose‼️ Do not Insult work mens skill by presenting them stuff which has no potential.‼️ Like manhole cover for vanity❓ who would literally use one tone desk top with uneven surface ❓

The chairs turned out less grotesque than I expected. Still very shrill, though.

Also - I’m shocked that the announcer said each month 800 Tons of material is dumped at this 1kocatiin😬😬😱😱!!!

The transformed manhole covers were horrific, but Sara nearly always picks up rubbish from the tips, that should remain as rubbish - I had seen this one many years ago but watched again out of curiosity......thanks for psoting

They would have made a much better coffee table if they were painted black, on a dark wood base with drawers and industrial handles and strong wheels, and with a heavy glass top.

Finnś wife😊👍I like it al😊😊😊👍👍👍

I really liked everything except the chairs….very disappointed in his idea….I love him in the show The Repair Shop.

This is first series maybe, when Sarah had short hair.

I was seeing the chairs recovered in leather--- or perhsps suede! But a bright, fire engine red leather would have been stunning! And gone with the wood frames nicely! But purple and light sage green???! Really!!!????? (NO!!! JUST, NO!!!!!) BUT THE WALL PAPERED BOTTOMS WERE A NICE TOUCH!!!

Why would they throw such nice items like the chairs in trash, donate them to charity. I can believe the amount of good items that are trashed here at this dump.

Not money down the drain, But metal I. The land waste

Paying people for something they gave away is stupid.

Why? It’s what makes the show enjoyable. Plus, it makes ppl look twice at old stuff they think has no value.

I Agee that it’s about showing the value of what the person was about to trash it’s an important component if it wasn’t a show she would profit that but it’s a full circle to make more people understand that you shouldn’t throw away something that another person could use or profit from, great concept! ❤

Nowhere in the Western world are you going to find someone to powder coat steel slabs for 100 quid. 50 pounds to completely restore 2 chairs is absurd. More like 500.

@@edelweiss9460 Even 10 yrs. ago. I had a single chair reupholstered and it cost me $200 and I provided the fabric. More than 10 yrs ago. Lol. True about the buyers. Those things are horrendous. They should have just made them garden tables and painted them green. Would look cool.

Me not liking how the chairs were styled, sorry.

I'm so sad about those chairs. They were so beautiful before. Painting the wood??? So sad

I can never get over what horrible taste Jay ( the Chair & Upholstery guy) has . His colors are always garrish and somewhat trashy ... 50's retro in frosty mint and purple and cream gimp ? Seriously ???

Chairs had worst make over
