We call ourselves 'Urban Scavengers'. We search through piles of discarded 'JUNK' to find anything that can be reused or recycled. Almost anything discarded can be re-purposed into something that can be useful again. All it takes is a little motivation and imagination. There is so much history and character in old things that it is a shame to discard them. There is a certain look and feel that you can't get from something new. Some of us do it to get things for ourselves and reduce waste, while others do it to make some extra money. Whatever the reason, more and more people seem to be doing it.
    Here at urbanscavengers.com, we provide information and ideas to all our fellow scavengers. We will show off some of our finds as well as yours and offer tips on turning those finds into treasures. We will be constantly updating the information, finds, projects and links on the site and hope you will come back often.
    So, grab a nice hot cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the site...Happy Scavenging!
