It was interesting to see the Tip Shops, it's a good idea. I've always thought it was such a shame and waste for good things to be thrown away

[@themoodyteam]

No, the shame is that there’s people out there who would rather dump it then give it to charity 🤯

[@clembu2275]

Jeff perked up when you were showing us the Jellycat toys in the car! He wants!

[@barrystephen6450]

Our tip shop is great, always amazed at what generous people give away to charity and how much other folks drive by and chuck it all in the skips….

[@flipmodeisthegreatest7247]

It's great that some tips do this; hate seeing good stuff being thrown away every time I visit! Prompted me to look for local ones and have found a few not too far away. Would be good to include on Thrift Map!

[@nigelmacdonald766]

I picked up a zebra printer for £3 at mine. Then a 2nd visit, two stereo units for £5 each. One sold for £40, the other for £35. I love my tip shops (I have access to 2). Oh, and an Ikea clock for £45 that cost £1

[@themoodyteam]

10:10 ‘he’s a little bit floppity doppity’. Andrea speaking from experience there… 😉

[@kimberleysnell2091]

Great video, didn’t know this was a thing. Will be checking out my local now! Question where does the money go to? Council? Charity? The workers tea & biscuit fund? Just curious 😊

[@marcuskiritsis2076]

Glad the washer did the trick 👍 😊

[@nafanify]

My local is the Harford one in Norwich, they are more expensive, they look most stuff up on E-bay and price high, they were trying to sell an old bell for £100 for the last few months and it's right next to the car boot so most of it is stuff people couldn't sell and then they put it up for probably 10x as much! didn't find anything last time, used to be ok

[@georgefoord7087]

charity shops should have these prices would mean rotation of stock and store rooms not being so crammed.

[@tilerman]

100% I live in Nth London and near to my house there is a lot of charity shops and in some of them the prices are ridiculous and every time i go in them it's the same stock week after week after week. But there is one charity shop, a small charity, great prices on everything and a very fast turnaround resulting in different stock every time i go in there.. I have 15 year old twins and they and their mates are big time into charity shops and the stuff they come home with from this one shop is amazing .All clothes £1.50, books 25p, DVD's 4 for a pound. Amazing shop and amazing staff. I did speak with the manager and the shop raises funds for a cancer charity that has 4 beds. They really are amazing people doing amazing work and i do think the larger charities should take a leaf from their book.

[@stucatfreeuk]

Ive picked up a few good books from the dump! Last time i was there i picked up a paperback called Dracula's gold. Was worth at least 30 quid!

[@alisonriley6837]

Such a great idea that ALL tips/ dumps should do. A great way to get cash strapped councils some money and more importantly keep stuff out of landfill 😊

[@angiesteele1107]

Just came across your channel. The second tip shop looked great, there were a lot of good items there. I think all recycling centres should have something like that. It's shocking the amount people throw in the trash

[@dannymcmenemy5151]

i,m near Hitchin your old stamping ground , only two out of 6 or 7 dumps near me have a recycle shop , i have asked most of them about old stereo stuff [ my hobby ] but they have preferred buyers so i never see anything . it is a great idea to raise money and recycle stuff , recently i picked up an IKEA Tirup egg chair for a tenner Ebay value £150 - £200

[@annettesmith472]

There’s a huge one just over an hour from where we live. It’s two stories and has furniture as well.

[@richs8491]

Not being funny but shouldn't Andrea be wearing her seat belt when your driving???😮😮😮😮😮

[@juliepearson1685]

Hi our tip shop used to be great but now it's become expensive!!

[@RESELLERGEORGE]

i went to my 2nd tip shop in Wales the other week: its cheaper than most charity shops but its run BY a charity shop so , prices arent that dissimilar

[@jomortimer4248]

That wood would have been very polluting toxic & possibly illegal to burn in a woodburner .perhaps read george monbiots article in the 6:11 guardian re this subject i think.

[@themoodyteam]

Wood burners are very polluting full stop! Just a matter of time before they are banned. We’ve got one (and a N&A style wood store), but hardly use it 😭 When we do use it I’m always coughing the following day 😬

[@jomortimer4248]

Yes ...this is so true .However its the most affordable heating for many rural dwellers😢

[@themoodyteam]

@@jomortimer4248 IME LPG and oil tanks are more common, unless you are talking about traditional coal hearths. I was more thinking about woodburners being banned in central London in order to improve air quality. Even the ‘eco-friendly’ ones look like they aren’t going to meet standards.

[@themoodyteam]

@@jomortimer4248 I’ve relatives who can’t afford to have their oil tank filled, as there’s a minimum delivery amount. Their house is damp as a result 😱

[@ojbeez5260]

I've even been to recycling centers as well....amazing what you pick up there!!! £140 for a bunch of computers...sold 2 of the monitors for over £200 each and only one of the computers for £380 - still have the other computers and one of the monitors sells for over £2000 on eBay! Insane, just paid the price for the metal in them ...about £140.

[@andrewcole1323]

Are you sure that's in the East of England this July? The sun is shining and the sky is blue!! Looked like a lovely day.

[@robtitheridge9708]

years ago one of our local tips used to have a shop that so0ld things like push bikes old record players and radios every thing £2 you could even ask the chaps to look out for things you were after then horroe the coucil put the place up for tender when it became a recycle centre and the shpe was shut andcctv cameras every where incace you picked somthing up.

[@supertouring22]

Funny I found this. I threw away some items at my local tip and now they're on ebay for significant sums (over £100). I know they won't sell for that and i don't really care if they do, i just hope they got into the sellers hands via legitimate means. I cannot see such a shop for my Council Cheshire East.

[@Dirlewanger44]

The by me is just tat. I know a mate used to work at one in north london he pull tons of stuff got two sheds and spare room full

[@theshedder2017]

Did you finish up checking the books , I found one in one of those well known supermarkets , scan at 46pence, it's a start.

[@anntaplin4960]

Our local tip shop is great. Must pay another visit soon

[@marinaharding6117]

I have been to a couple of recycle centre shops next to the refuse tips & found some good things I cant understand why all councils don't do this , it seems like a sensible idea , and it makes them money as well.

[@themoodyteam]

Space, cost of building, supervision and staffing levels all come to mind.

[@ojbeez5260]

@@themoodyteam Red Tape ...complying with safety regs security and cash on site...not to mention employees pocketing the money.

[@Jjules-zo5fr]

Bury st edmunds one at Great Barton is good as well. They have lots in there.

[@northlondonmodels]

The idea of charging to dump your small domestic amount wood is crazy and they wonder why ppl flytip! Also if you haven't got a car passenger I would recommend not having lengths of wood towards your back just in case someone rear ends you

[@michelles2299]

Never heard of tip shops

[@themoodyteam]

I actually work at a recycling centre. A council one for household waste. But no shop. Ask me anything…

[@stefan8303]

Easy money to be made when it's 10 dvds for a £1. Just scan with ziffit for any that are worth 50p or more. I think I remember you doing the same from auction a while back.

[@theshedder2017]

Any Last of the Summer wine DVDs , i am collecting them to get the complete series.

[@theshedder2017]

Hello , another great video, any tips on how to improve getting more views , and subscribers. We have a tip shop in Dereham, Norfolk.

[@NICKYG2X3.]

they got a few down this way.(south wales). i go to the main tip with tons of waste 3-4 times a week, on a weigh bridge and i usually call into the "tip shop, we call it something else. volunteers run it, and i have picked up loads of stuff in the past, for several years. its a pretty busy one, people drop stuff off regular so i find you just gotta be right place right time. .. ps.. seen a large luton at that tip you was at,, shouldn't be in there lol

[@themoodyteam]

Different councils have different rules. Where I live a Luton would be acceptable with a permit (cars don’t need one, tho’ bizarrely pedestrians and bicycles do 🙄) Some other counties ALL visits need a permit or pre-booked.

[@usedclothinguk]

Belt on Andrea 😂

[@jilliancameron4811]

Hi I love a rummage in a tip shop yours looks very well organised. One of our tips wanted to charge £5.00 for dropping off a tile, no wonder there is fly tipping!! Loved your finds. Looks like the weather is on your side!

[@matthewwall1061]

Hey. Where is that tip shop?

[@NicHills]

First one Snetterton, 2nd one Thetford

[@theshedder2017]

Your dog , is it Geoff or Jeff , interesting. Did you have to pay for the pleasure of taking your wood to the recycle centre, they will try to charge you at Dereham.

[@jillfogg2892]

Cath Kidston yeah!!

[@theshedder2017]

Just the same size as the one in Dereham.

[@leighmonty13]

We have a big tip shop

[@Peterwrayadventures]

No tip shops at any tips near by.

[@davidbleach5159]

You left the dog in the car on a sunny summer day to go tatting? No wonder you had a hot dog! A dog is for life, not just for content.

[@Bichonben1963]

How long did you leave that poor dog in the car for 🥵 no wonder it was hot 👎👎👎

[@NicHills]

Not long and the windows were down - he also had water

[@bezzle123]

Lol you take that dog everywhere poor thing
