people throw away the damdest almost new almost perfectly functional things. if land were free i'd dumpster dive, plus some of the amazing and inexpensive things at hardware stores, plus what nature gives away for free, and just build all kinds of stuff. as it is, i live in a bed-sit type unit, that just tools and model building, i don't have room to collect or hang onto anything. no living relatives with houses and no car, so i don't have the option, but it really does annoy me, for an economy to so completely depend on people having to throw away stuff with perfectly good parts they could make other things out of. sure a lot of bulk is unsalvagable, but there is just so much that is just so wasteful, in a world where resources really aren't unlimited and population is pushing the limits of their availability. and even what the average person might not be able to personally recycle if they had unlimited space, all that single use plastic, on a larger scale, or with particular tools, that too can be recycled into a kind of plastic lumber, or even filiment for 3d printing.
