DIY Recycling For Income - More Examples Of 100% Free Inventory Saved & Sold For $740
It may not be much to some, but I brought in $510 yesterday (for $350 net profit), reselling independently with my bare hands. It adds up in scale when you consider the time/income/freedom ratio. Plus, it's rewarding and fun.
I hope these posts will help motivate people to see that you can at least generate some extra income for yourself, or completely free yourself from dependence on others for money. I'm here to help and teach some of my tricks of the trade to those who want to learn. Ask any questions.
On the recycling front (non-thrifting), here are some more items I've recently plucked from my city's curb recycling to sell for income.
Nearly all packaging to ship these items was recycled.
Mentioning @cleanplanet so they can start following what I've been doing for years.
Your support gives me extra motivation, so please don't hesitate to simply leave a comment.

Thank you very much! Glad you're out there appreciating this stuff.
👍
Nice work need to get more into this line of work haha. Not a good market round here everyone wants stuff for free it seems! 💯🐒
If there's not a good market, that means much less competition if people feel that way. Turn that negative into a positive and try to leverage your interest to make some money in this respect. Even 1 or 2 things a month can get the ball rolling.
Yep thats true just not really the platform here and I don't have a car to do a car boot! Gumtree does not seem to have much respect here but I might try it again 💯🐒
If it helps, I don't have a car. I walk to find everything I recycle. If it's too heavy, I take parts off of it and keep going, or take cab home. Sell on eBay, Etsy and Amazon! I sell on Craigslist at times, but there are too many flakes and hagglers. New post from today is here.
It's the selling I struggle with not the collecting. There just seems to be a lack on interest in my area 💯🐒
It is so good to be able to give objects a second life and make a small profit from them. Congratulations on this initiative.
