This practice is virtually unheard of today. In England during the war, the activity was promoted. Not only paper & metal had to be salvaged but now food swill to feed animals, such as pigs, as well. This would help meat rationing. A round metal bin & lid, nick-named the ‘Pig Bin’, was put by the lamppost opposite the path to the public air raid shelters. This was for everybody’s food scraps & meat bones. The bin was emptied every few days by unhappy-looking POW’s in a very smelly lorry.
