Recyling the Recycled

What is better than recycling? Recycling the already recycled.
This is a practice that we started while living in Conway, and could frequent the Dump Store. The Dump Store is a shed that unwanted, but usable items get put for further use. We have saved many an item from that store. We also have saved many an antique from the wood pile. Imagine, throwing away a 1940's armoire onto a heap of wood like it was trash. I took it home, fixed it up, and used it as an entertainment unit. We have also gotten bureau's, tables, sewing machine, and lots more.
We have been know to stop by the road when a free sign is out too. We picked up a set of dinning room chairs from the late 1800's at one of these free for all. This too is where I got my eliptical machine. The chairs needed some TLC, but I cleaned them up and they now have a home.
You wouldn't believe the things people throw out. It is actually a shame. If you are done using it, pass it on to someone else.
Always remember to recyle the recyled.
