Episode 4

There's never a dull moment for presenter Sarah Moore at Witley Recycling Centre in Surrey, as the cars keep coming with tons of unwanted stuff that's ripe for the picking and perhaps perfect for making a pound or two. Today Sarah's three items are something of a challenge. An old card table gets a new deal when Sarah decides to take it to furniture designer Norman Wilkinson. Together they decide this little winner could do with a sparkling new top. Sarah's second item immediately appeals and that's because of its potential to be totally made over. It's a lightweight wardrobe with ample space to be completely transformed by wallpaper guru Emma Walker. And for Sarah herself this time, it's a bag of high-end vintage clothes that catch her eye. Can our intrepid entrepreneur and her band of highly creative makers turn this lot into money for nothing?

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?
