3.

Scavenging trash or cast-off items for the purpose of salvaging it and applying to a better purpose, a more legitimate use than merely "free stuff" - improving the item's quality through its new purpose or new, second "life." The new use is different and of better quality (substantively different) than the item's original use or purpose, i.e., a chair that becomes shelving or artwork, a pallet that becomes a gate or fence.

I managed to scalvage several old storm windows for my coldframe.

I scalvaged some storm doors to make a little gazebo for my yard.
