It was a great way for 42 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 3: the whole queue to get involved. But the council loved it. 43 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: Now most councils love it because it does save on 44 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: the things that we throw out and we get to 45 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: reuse them.

And of 47 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: course save a few bucks because things are cheap, and 48 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 3: it's I think it's community first and getting something second. 49 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 2: I like the idea, are you putting stuff out?

Not an old turntable. It looks like 55 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 3: a turntable, but it's quite modern. So old records are 56 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: quite nostalgic for me, and they're a popular item.
