Going back to the saying "One person's trash is another person's treasure," a nursery's trash may be a bonsaiist's treasure. Sometimes they don't want to be bothered nursing unpresentable shrubs/trees back to a presentable condition, so they just chuck them out. Sometimes the plant material that they do throw into the dumpster has a lot of potential of bonsai. A bonsaiist would be willing to nurse them back to health, as their current appearance isn't all that they are focusing upon. Thus, a nursery's trash can be a bonsaiist treasure.
