Before you throw something away, ask yourself:

  1. Is it still usable?
  2. Will it be better with a good cleaning?
  3. Does it need a repair?
  4. Can I fix or clean it myself?
  5. Can a replacement part or accessory make the whole thing better?
  6. Can something be removed to improve it?
  7. Can it substitute for something else?
  8. Does someone else need it more?
  9. Is it recyclable?

What is your best trash to treasure story?
