Me to. It's a good feeling to salvage something useful. Also, I maybe do it as a protest against our disposable society. I really HATE to throw things away.
This extends to food. After we've harvested all we need out of our garden we open it up to friends, family, friends of family - basically anyone who can use the surplus food.
I do everything I can NOT to take any purchases home in a plastic bag. I hate throwing those things away.
I have a lifetime's worth of junk laying around here that other people would have pitched, but I'm hanging on to it against the off chance I ever have time to repair it.
After we sold our Z-3 I had an air filter left on the shelf. It would have been easy for some people to throw it out, but I couldn't do it. I found someone who could use it and took the time to mail it out to them, just so it wouldn't go to waste.
