To answer the thread topic, I am a "repair and/or repurpose" kinda
guy. I hate to see things thrown out because they don't work as
they should, or are simply "too old".

I don't recycle electronics, thats Airt's department. What I have done though is breathed life into many an old bicycle thats been dragged to the curb and trashed. So much pleasure tinkering and rebuilding it, buying new is no fun!

I think re-cycling, especially if you can repair things is fantastic!
I have 10 thumbs, so the amount of repairs that i can accomplish is pretty gruesome, ugly, but still my definition, is, if it works , that is good enough four me!
I have fixed my fence latch, when after 15 years the post moved a couple of inches. I figured it out and added a 2" piece of wood, and screwed the latch onto it! Ugly, but I don't care, cause it works! No one notices, because no one visits!
I will have to have a barbeque for all forum posters in August, Sunday 9th, to celebrate another unbirthday, ( Aug 7th is the "real " bona fide day, lol
