Around here it is scrap metal collectors.

This was happening when the bi annual cleanup was on its since changed.
Scrappies came first for about 2 week prior pulled all the metal out
left a mess then council came to remove the remainder (only taking it if
correctly bundled.) There has been mess piles left which council will
not remove.

I tell the scrappies to either take the lot or leave it or I report them.

I had a Volvo driving scrappie dismantling a monitor I had out on the
hard waste collection. He is well known for spreading bits all over,
then breaking off the neck of the tube to retrieve the copper wire in
the deflection yoke. I told him to either take the lot or leave it
alone. I didn't threaten to report him, the menace of the iron bar I was
holding was sufficient inducement for him to decide to take the whole
monitor.
He hasn't been seen around here since!
