I agree 100%. I like using what others would throw out.
I suppose that "scrappy" quilt makers also compost, if they garden. (In fact, I ask for other people's grass clippings!)

I just had a friend call me and say, you want my scrap bin...I said sure..thinking I would use the little pieces to do some scrappy pp'ed stuff...NO...Her idea of scraps are FQ's with a 4" corner missing, or the trimmings from her quilt backs..you know 12" wide and 120" long....heheheh
I got 3 garbage bags of fabric.....YIKES.....
