One man's rubbish is another man's gold! My brother has just come back from France with a lovely awning mat that someone who had a motorhome no longer wanted and dumped near the bins. Obviously not required by them but still in excellent condition and I'm told worth a bit of money. Made a really nice runner into their bear lake canopy.

Personally I wouldn't do it as i'm very much a make do and mend sort of person. Love to find treasure that I can either use as is or turn into something else.

Folk on the site i am on, have left the tent and all the gear in it!    and not just one tent left like this. site owner takes them down, and puts them to one side for anyone to take. he dosent throw the poles away, he keeps them incase someone has forgotten or broken theres,cookers, chairs, sleeping bags freezer boxes, wind breaks etc.

I think you will find that the campers on UK Campsite would not be the ones leaving gear behind.

Personally, I would just chuck everything on eBay if an item had caused me more hassle than I would like.

I would not leave it for the campsite to deal with, as I know personally from work how expensive it can be to scrap items such as a tent canvas.

Poles on the other hand can be quite easy to get rid of, as well as free.

We were at a festival over the bank holiday which had a bric a brac stall.  One group camped near us must have been at the stall early because on the day we all packed up they took down their gazebo/tents and drove off leaving a pine table and 4 chairs in the middle of the field.  There's no way it arrived there in any of their cars!! At less friendly festivals there's always a huge number of tents left, alas not all in pleasant reuseable condition, though companies pay the organisers for the rights to collect them all up for recycling.

Campsitewise: after an overnight hurricane in Norfolk a couple of years ago there were broken tents everywhere and the skips were overflowing.  I scavanged new poles so mine could be mended cheaply.  If I was more tent-savvy I'm sure there were enough bits to make a dozen or more saleable tents left behind..

If it doesn't fit inside the cars it's more than your family needs :-)

on holiday in eygpt a few years ago ,the hotel had a table where departing guests could leave sun lotions ,books, clothing anything in fact they did not wish to take home ,often due to flight weight restrictions .and people that were staying a bit longer could help themselves .
   surely a far sighted site manager would find it easy during the winter months to erect a simple 3 sided fenced off compound to deposit all this unwanted stuff ,it needn't be supervised just done on a bring or take basis for the benefit of all ,as by the replies there does seem to be a market for this stuff
