Synopsis

At Altrincham Recycling Centre near Manchester, entrepreneur Sarah Moore is on a mission to find three items to save from the crusher. She has special permission to raid the rubbish in the hope she can turn the trash she picks into cash. Each item she finds will be given to some of Britain's elite designers and makers to transform into bespoke pieces worthy of making a profit for their original owners. Today Sarah saves a set of wrought iron gates, which go to Blacksmith Bex Simon for a new lease of life. Sarah also nabs what was once a kid's chest of drawers. Adorned with animal stickers, and even a picture of Lassie the dog, Sarah decides this is one for furniture designer Rupert Blanchard to get his teeth into. Sarah's third and final item is one for herself to work on, and it couldn't be more left field - a wad of natural sheep's wool used to keep packaged food cool. Could this be her biggest challenge yet? Will this lot pull in the pounds, or should Sarah have steered well clear of all of it at the tip?
