scavenge + salvage-- scalvage. To find items meant for both purposes! Kind of a "fregan" concept but even my capitalistic father engaged in this. For many years my dad would scalvage all kinds of craft materials at industrial sites near our house: carpet samples, wooden moulding parts, pieces of formica, vinyl samples. He would also find old chairs that were cast away and fix them up.... so I began to do that too. You can make craft products and even furniture (or rescued furniture) from your findings!
