RE: See It To Believe It!! $6,000+ Worth Of Free Recycled Inventory Just Found Within 24 Hours ($25,000+ Original Retail Value & 22K Gold)
Any tips on where to look and how to get started doing something like this? LOL
I live in the heart of a big city. If you're near one, finding out if they have curb recycling (especially in residential/small commerce zones) is a good start. In other words, if buildings and companies put their trash and recycling on the curbs for trucks pick up, you're golden. If you don't live near a big city, potentially driving through developments on curb-side recycling days would be a good start. One you start to find channels like this, your eye gets trained to see certain shapes, electrical cords, and the same types of things over time -- so what used to look like a clear bag or mound of "waste" starts to look like salvageable consumer goods.
If you don't have areas like this, you can go to thrift stores. I used to hustle 10-20 stores a day here until I tripped on this recycling opportunity.
Yeah I'm sure it just comes with time and learning what is and isn't "valuable".
Thanks for the feedback! We have Fall and Spring clean up where I live that I see loads of people driving around the city to take advantage of and just like when is the best time to look for the stuff.
