"Considered a patriotic duty."

During wartime (especially WWII) the government and media promoted conservation and scrap drives as part of supporting the war effort; people were urged to save and collect materials for manufacture of weapons and supplies. (Some local drives did raise funds or community benefit as a side effect, but the primary framing was patriotic duty.)
