Waste Trading Markets: Convenient Recycling

July 16, 2010 By Charities Blog

I recently received an email with the following information regarding Waste
Trading Markets
in my area. I think it is a great idea to get people recycling and hope that this kind of markets will come up in many more commercial areas. What do you think?

THE “WASTE” TRADING MARKETS!

Trade scrap paper for new (office/ mimeo) paper!

Trade used ink cartridges for new!

Sell your electronic waste (junk computers) and old /broken appliances!

Sell your used lead acid batteries! Redeem the following for cash:
PET plastic bottles and other plastics, aluminum/tin cans, scrap glass.

Drop off points also provided for junk cellphones, cellphone batteries, styrofoam…

These Waste Markets aim to make recycling convenient and accessible, especially for those who frequent commercial shopping areas, and also to show
that we all CAN make recycling a habit!

Please help spread the word to family, friends and colleagues. Ask around at your local community service offcice, or better yet, start one yourself. Proceeds of this can go to the needy – another fantastic way one person’s junk can help others!

Thriving on Fund Drives Using Classified Junk Materials

January 28, 2007 By Charities Blog

Recycling used objects and things that would not have any more use is one of the common practices to which most people would use to convert them into cash or goods for donation to charity institutions. To most people, the value of junk and other trashed items would not have the same tag as it did before. Some would not even care on their use, content with just placing them in trash bags to help maintain their clean surroundings.

Waiting for Blessings

One man’s trash may be the benefit of another. This is something that best describes recycling used goods and converting them into something beneficial. There are still monetary values for such and people would be surprised at how much they could raise from such efforts. It is not entirely about cleaning up the trash, but rather converting cash into gold so that the needy people would benefit from them in whichever way possible.
