Yes, we have an administrator who is like that -- if it's old, get rid of it, even if it can still be used because it doesn't look shiny and new.
I think, and this is just my opinion, people who were not raised during the depression or raised by someone who struggled during the depression, don't understand the ideal of reusing or recycling or whatever. My parents grew up during the depression dirt poor. We didn't throw out much. They sold things if they could and reused what we could. I think it formed how I am today -- so the whole recycling and reselling is normal for me.
