Part of repurposing is the satisfaction of recycling and less waste. If you are not already a participant I would encourage you to join your local Freecycle group. These are folks commited to sharing things that they indivivdually no longer need that may benefit another person, rather than just throwing something out. Visit http://www.freecycle.org/ for the group near you.
Also, I am a tremendous supporter of Habitat for Humanity. They have started opening stores around the nation to support the charity. The stores are called Re-Store. They take in tax deductable donations of all kinds that have to do with building, remodeling or living in a home. Chains like Lowe's and Home Depot donate unused building materials, kitchen cabinets, sinks toilets, etc. The general public can donate those things or the kitchen they just removed to make way for the new, a couch that no longer works with their lifestyle, whatever. These stores are open to the public and can be a great way to save money redoing a room or repurposing a discovery and give to a great charity. The stores can be found on http://www.habitatforhumanity.org/
