Gaze, Diss UK - Auctioneer Carl Willows said, "The sale of Architectural Salvage on October 31 was probably our most diverse sale for some time. Bidding was dominated by the trade. This was probably a reflection of the number of quality items that had come fresh to the market from recent house moves and some demolitions. . .(cont.)"

The next sale at Gaze is Rural and Domestic Bygones on 21 November. Despite it only being early days for consignments Mr Willows is optimistic. "We have a nice horse drawn cart and a good collection of packaging and enamel signs," said Mr Willows.

Government reuse campaign

THE Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has recently launched a radio and print advert campaign aimed at promoting the three Rs - waste reduction, reuse and recycling.

Although the scheme has been likened to WRAP's long-running Recycle Now campaign, a Defra spokeswoman said, "It's quite different to Recycle Now which is quite a broad campaign. This is about making better use of everything. We are trying to look at all three Rs - moving it up the waste hierarchy. It complements Recycle Now and is not intended to replace that but moves the debate on."
