Important: Send us a photo of the most unusual object you found at your yard! Deadline 27 January

In the next issue of The Recyclist, we want to showcase the amazing (and sometimes crazy) variety of objects that end up in your recycling yard.

Therefore, for this edition edition of The Recyclist we are asking:

What is the most unusual or special object you have discovered at your recycling yard?

Be it an airplane cockpit, a diamond ring, shell casing or something even more unusual – let us know!  

Send us your exciting yard find picture (high quality, at least 1MB) to therecyclist@bir.org and give us a few details about the find by filling in this form (adhering to the rules, or we might not be able to use your submission).

Submission deadline: Tuesday, 27 January 2026 

Your contribution matters – Thank you for taking part!
