A heartwarming picture book about community, sustainability and how one neighbour's rubbish is another's treasure. Ella's house is full of useless things! Bricks and boxes and plant pots and shoes and more. So it's time for Ella and her dad to head to the tip with all the things that are old and broken, too big, or too small, or too something-else-altogether. But who knew? Those holey blankets are just what Mrs Esposito needs and the rusty tricycle is perfect for Mr Montgomery. Will they have anything useless left by the time they reach the tip?
