weren&#8217;t able to drop the items off but yet still collecting them.<br \/>\nHence they have since accumulated to a REALLY HUGE pile as compared to all our previous ones, consisting of countless aluminium cans \/ plastic bottles \/ newspapers, plus some other random pieces of old clothes and metal. <a
