This is a rather novel way of creating a new stamp collector or two. Apparently, a frustrated collector in Marietta, OH finally got sick of looking at all of his duplicate Australian stamps (35 lbs of them!), so got rid of them by dropping them off at the local recycling center. An employee at the center found this to be intriguing and unusual, so picked them out and took them home. He and his wife have been sorting through them for weeks now, effectively becoming collectors of sorts themselves now. They have published an article in the local newspaper in hopes of finding the original owner of the stamps. Here is a link to the article.
