cash for recycling

I have been researching recycling rather a lot lately. I've 'sold' my mobile phone for recycling and have now learnt you can get money for all sorts of other things too. Mainly what most people class as 'rubbish'. So instead of putting things in the bin for landfill, I suggest you Google ''money for rubbish'' or ''cash for trash'' or ''recycle for cash'' - you will be surprised!!

There could be a small fortune collecting in bins everywhere

    Good post, but this should perhaps be in green and ethical rather than greenfingered? Could a mod please move it?!

  • another recycling money maker - cash for your empty ink cartridges

    This site offers such a thing https://www.recycleaid.co.uk

    there are others too so I would advise a search, you can make around £1.50 per cartridge depending on type. That adds up nicely! plus more importantly you are helping prevent landfill additions! well done you!
  • OK this is not money saving but its future saving - money doesn't grow on trees, but neither do trees grow from money.

    Perhaps there should be a board for this subject somewhere?
  • if you should need further insentive to recycle, Google ''recycle for cash'' and alike
