The nearest thing we have to that is the scrap merchant who comes round every week. If I have anything (which is quite often because the kids do their bikes in the garden and often leave their bits of bike lying around) i leave it in a box near the gate, but not outside, and he knows he can take whatever there is. Serves two purposes, - he is making a living and I am getting rid of the rubbish. He has a foreign accent but I don't know what nationality he is. Suspect Polish. Who cares, as long as I get rid of the scrap.
