Toward Ecosophy

In my area ( California), the dumps make you separate all materials by type, so that a few of them let you go to the dump area for lumber and go thru it and buy what you want very very cheaply, or so I have heard. It is far for me to go for a "maybe" what I want will be there, but if you are running errands in the vicinity, then good lumber can be found at maybe a few percents of buying new. The rest of all plywood scraps, lumber and wood waste at the dump that they cant find a buyer for, they have to run thru a chipper and make into mulch. It is not allowed to be land filled. Wood waste is about all mulched now
