Imagine for a moment you can turn garbage into gold. And by garbage, we mean actual garbage—stuff people drop off at the dump. That’s the brilliance of Last Chance, where one person’s trash becomes another’s treasure, at insanely affordable prices. The concept: Monterey Regional Waste Management District salvages old furniture, clothes and household goods from what you toss, then resells what’s worth saving. This keeps things out of the landfill, provides 12 jobs and generates $750,000 a year in sales. Nowhere else can you buy a new toilet, scrap lumber, a bag of high-quality compost (made on site) and a fabulous neon outfit—all for under $10.
