Around my neighbourhood, in the process of building a new "custom" home  
(usually way too big) ,  it's not unusual for three or more full  
dumpster-loads of "waste" to be generated .

The first is full usually after the roof is sheathed, before roof cladding  
goes on so it's pretty much all lumber.

The second is usually full by the time the interior sheathing and roof  
cladding is done.

A person could likely fix all that needed fixing of an existing decrepit  
garage using just materials salvaged from the "waste" of one of these new  
homes and have enough material for some other small projects.

(ie There would likely be more than enough discarded dimension lumber and   
to provide the bottom chords of the parallel chord trusses and more than  
enough OSB or plywood to make all of the gussets so that the only cost  
might be for fasteners.)

I suspect that it may even be possible to have the dumpster of lumber  
waste delivered to your home for free since you'd be saving them the cost  
of the tippage fees.
