Trash? Yes, The Raconteurs want your trash. But you know that old saying, right? One man's trash is another man's treasure.

It's still unclear what The Raconteurs have up their sleeve, but here's what we know thus far--they've created both a website and a YouTube channel called From Old To Gold and are asking fans to upload their lost treasures, appropriately tagging their videos: From Old To Gold

Could it be for an upcoming video? Or have The Raconteurs unhatched this diabolic scheme just to come across some really cool thrift store finds? Unfortunately, I don't have any answers at this time.

Well can't you hear we're selling rag and bone?
Bring out your junk and we'll give it a home...
A broken trumpet or a telephone.
Come on, come on, come on, come on and give it to me!

Hmm. A possible White Stripes tie-in?
