DIY Recycling For Income (Bonus Trick Included)

I share posts like this since helping the environment and promoting financial independence are my priorities.

I want people to realize the benefits and respective local environments made just a little bit better.

Here are more recent examples of household items people naively or lazily threw out, that I conveniently recovered for FREE and sold with relative ease for income.

Notably, almost all of shipping and packaging materials are also recycled from the curbs except flat rate packaging I get for free and tape.

I hope that these posts help give people ideas and inspiration. Look around your homes and neighborhoods, especially if you live in a larger city. There's often valuable free stuff on the curbs screaming "save me" before they get crushed in a truck.

*Most importantly, think about what you're tossing and consider if it's the right move.

Leading by example:

Bonus Tip: Factory Recall Items

Found an older model Dyson Hot & Cool fan with its cord cut and took it anyway.
Repaired the plug, but it was smoking with a burning smell.
Looked the model up and it was eligible for a factory recall for the exact reasons above.
Worked with the company for a brand new modern model worth $300, which I sold w/in 2 days of listing for $295.
Magic! I find recall items at thrift stores more often. They send you a new (often upgraded) replacement or a check.
