I hear what you are saying, Patrice J, and I agree, but I didn't think that we were talking about 'trash' items. Just something that didn't work out the way we intended or something that we lost interest in or was too difficult and was way beyond our experience level.
I am always amazed what some quilters will put in the trash can after attending a class. Perfectly good fabric or batting that is very useable (as long as someone doesn't throw their lunch or coffee on it, that is). My favorite pastime is making scrap quilts and I just say thank you for the extra fabric.
