Canal clearing

They've been out clearing rubbish from the local canals. But the 'they' is not British Waterways. It's lads with a truck salvaging scrap. We watched as a couple of them hauled a massive flat bed pull-along trolley from the cut.
The price of scrap has clearly gone up.
If BW caught them at it they'd chase them off -- but maybe instead they should organise a 'keep what you catch' BCN clean-up for, shall we call them, "interested parties". Anything with scrap value they keep, everything else could go in a BW rubbish boat
