I know what you mean re the recycling places. Whenever I visit one I see perfectly useable junk just crying out to be repurposed.

One man's trash and all that :|

The recycling centres round here used to be good places to pick up half way decent stuff, but since the immigrants who moved here to work in the warehouses got wind of them as cheap ways to furnish their houses, they have been stripped bare and there's nothing worth having any more.

What a great idea claymore. I just might see if my local charity shop will help me out as a source of cheap wood and reward them in kind too.
