For example, I saved a bunch of these small cardboard sheets that were separating the rows of cans in a box of cat food.
Add some glue and you have a little tent for your cat.
I have some boxes saved specifically to make some trackers for VR... But I thought we had a hot glue gun in the apartment and I was wrong so it's just waiting in a corner until I can actually glue them the way I need. lol
Wood. So much wood, in so many forms and shapes. The garage is filled with wood. Also bits of drywall panels, duckting material, paint and so on.
Yes. Cardboard, clear plastic, polystyrene. I make gaming terrain, although I haven't made much yet.
I sometimes reuse mineral water/pepsi bottles .
I have a large box of random cables, probably half of which are totally obsolete. Might need 'em someday.
I'm living in a really old house, which means the floors are uneven, so I keep any little bits of wood I find, like shelves from old cabinets, paint sticks, whatever, to use as shims to keep my furniture level
I also save those cardboard pieces from between the wet food for painting on
Boxes. I might need them one day.
Calling it garbage to begin with tells us more about you than it.
Is there another word for "things that most people will toss out because they don't see a use for it" that would convey the question better?
Treasure?
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, I've got whozits and whatzits galore. You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty!
Junk.
Ah yeah that would've been better.
