A few years ago I went to an industrial estate on business and had to park on the street along from the company I needed to visit.
Walking back to the car there was a dumpster (called a "skip" here in Australia ) sitting outside a place which made lounge furniture with wooden frames.
There was so much in this thing the top would not close completely.
There were offcuts and end cuts from legs and arms and other frame components all around four inches long and about two inches square or two by three inches.
I went to the office and asked if I could take some to make a cutting board I needed and they told me "no problem" and even handed me a plastic supermarket bag to hold them all !
There must be damn near everything you need to live a very comfortable life being tossed out daily if you know where to go and look.
Pete.
