From contributor T: Check with your local schools - I had a small elementary school take virtually all of my scrap for years. From contributor K: I don't know if you make your own components, but you would be amazed at how much of your regular and odd-sized waste can be applied to components. For example... Ply cut-offs:
Hardwoods:
Of course, these are made during slow times, or as change of pace projects to avoid burnout (who likes to only sand all the time, right?), but you can come up with great components from what is normally considered waste. Anything left over, like others have said, you can give it away.
From contributor M: I also pastor a church and I collect some scrap plywood through the spring and cut parts for bird houses, tool boxes, wheel barrels, trucks, etc. Then some of us act as teachers at vacation Bible school and let the young'uns build their project and paint it the way they want. It works the pastor to death that week, but the fun the kids get from it is more satisfying than the kitchens I've been doing lately! Maybe there is a church that would appreciate the scrap. There is always some hobbyist in a church that would cut the parts. Have you reviewed the related Knowledge Base areas below?
