A fun way to teach people about the money that can be made from recycling
                                                                          Forget About Recycling

                                                              We go on a dump scab, we go every day
                                                      We pick up all sorts of things that others throw away
                                                    There’s furniture and bicycles, there’s even pots and pans
                                                    Sometimes if we’re lucky there’s bottles and there’s cans

                                                          So, forget about recycling, just throw it out today
                                                        And we’ll be there to pick it up and tow it all away
                                                    We’ll clean it up, we’ll fix it up. It might take a nail or two
                                                  And when we have our garage sale we’ll sell it back to you.

                                                              We go on a dump scab, we go every week
                                                      We pick up all sorts of things some of them are antique
                                            There’s teddy bears and rocking chairs, there’s even pot plant stands
                                                    But you know, we really like those bottles and those cans

                                                            So, forget about recycling, just throw it out today
                                                            Cos we’ll be there to pick it up and tow it all away
                                                We’ll take it to the antique shop. Where it could sell for quite a lot
                                                        Then we’ll have money in the pot and it all thanks to you


                                                            We go on a dump scab we go every month
                                                    We pick up all sorts of things that you throw out as junk
                                                      There’s radios and stereos.  We don’t mind dirty hands
                                                    Cos you know we really like those bottles and those cans

                                                        So forget about recycling just throw it out today
                                                        And we’ll be there to pick it up and tow it all away
                                                    We’ll fix it up and trade it in; it might take a day or two
                                                        But when we get our new TV it will be thanks to you

                                                                We go on a dump scab we go every year
                                                  We collect the cans and bottles that buy our Christmas cheer
                                              There’s purses with still money in; that someone has thrown in the bin
                                                      So if you think money’s such a sin just throw it out me

                                                          And forget about recycling just throw it out today
                                                          Cos' well be there to pick it up and tow it all away
                                                      And when we have collected it and saved a buck or two
                                                        I think we'll have a party and the drinks will be on you.
