Easy bed liner
Know about Bagster bags? You can buy one for about $30 at a home center or Amazon. Fill it with demolition or other debris, the schedule a pickup by Waste Management, which costs about $135. I buy the bag, skip the pickup and use it over and over as a truck bed liner for hauling demo and law and garden debris. It makes unloading at the dump or compost site super easy, and my pickup bed stays immaculate. Refolded carefully, it fits under the seat.
Moving blanket
A cheap moving blanket is a nice thing to have in your truck. A few uses:
Put it on the ground to keep yourself clean and prevent losing nuts and bolts.
Use it to cover your carpeting when you’re slogging through mud at job sites.

9 ALTERNATIVE USES FOR SAWDUST
Every fully stocked wood shop has a table saw. You can usually find a pile of sawdust under it, even if it's used only occasionally. If a shop has a belt sander or band saw, there's probably another pile of finer sawdust under that. Even people without stationary tools have sawdust accumulation on their workbenches.
