In my business it is crazy what you see go to scrap.
Often on large industrial projects, machinery and the like has all kinds of shipping braces, blocking etc that when installed, becomes a one time use item and goes into the bin.
The same goes for things like shipping crates, boxes, pallets, new 55gal plastic drums etc.
More than one Redneck on our jobsites has ended up with a free dock/shed/ outhouse etc made out of cast offs....
On the last major job I was on, I could have had all the 55gal drums I wanted for nothing, black plastic and only contained clean mineral oil once.
