As a drone nerd, the very first thing I saw was that the wings they pictured were using a Pixhawk. That model is around $100 by itself, and you're not going to be finding them in trash.
Meanwhile, a complete wing from some manufacturers with an autopilot, is ~$150.
On further inspection, they're using a 3D-printed fuselage, and presumably 3D printed wing supports. In that case, the only thing that might be made from "scraps" is the cardboard skin.
