Klippos

He had a special avoda with orange peels. He used to peel them off the orange in a special manner, saving them, wrapping them around bottles and producing an ashtray. When asked why he did so, he replied, “See how I transform a klippa into a kli – see how I transform the peel into a useful vessel.” When asked jokingly how long he held onto the peels, klippos, he replied seriously, “So long as they have even just a bit of orange moisture left, they contain sparks of kedusha and I am forbidden to throw them away.”
