It's explicitly stated in the rules that trash or dump finds are free:

If you found it (that means no one gave it to you) discarded somewhere, it's yours to use free of penalty."
Yes, trading said parts adds a layer of complication, but I think it still may be in the spirit of thriftiness. It's possible shipping costs should be accounted for, if incurred. However, I'll need to communicate with the other judges about this.
