I'll keep sharing how easy and rewarding it can be to recycle for profit until people give it a try.
This is just one span of 24 hours.
I'm going to close my laptop after posting this and walk over to an ATM to deposit today's cash earnings of $120, and it's only 3 PM here.
I also have a flurry of emails and messages coming in for Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, so there will likely be more.
I also have a $180 cash pickup set for tomorrow for a large air conditioner I found.
Some math:
- $120 cash = 727 Steem.
- $302 revenue netted me exactly $250 in profit after fees and shipping. That's 1,830 Steem.
All I did today was wake up, answer some messages, and meet a nice Russian couple at my doorstep. I'll then ship these things out in recycled packaging for about 30 minutes. After that, the entire day is mine to look for new stuff, exercise, and enjoy.
The road map is laid out if you want more freedom. Effort = results. I put the hustle in late at night and my days are completely free as a result.
Sales in last 24 hours:
I found this walking home from the gym last night on top of a pile of bags, and just sold it for $120 cash after only 17 hours to a couple that's on vacation. They put their kid and his toy truck in it and strolled away happy!

Vacuum parts = not pretty, but really good easy money.
High end vacuums are constantly available to pluck from the curbs to sell for parts or give to friends. On top of the stroller above, I found a complete Dyson DC24 last night.
This working motor sold last night for $55.

This small working motor sold last night for $37.

Same story... sold last night for $34.

I found a dehumidifier in my building this week and just took the water tank. It sold this AM for $56.

Nothing fancy.
Not rocket science.
This is $302+ in completely free money.
All I do is seek the potential value in anything I come across in my day-to-day, and think "how much could I sell this for," instead of "look at that junk."
You can get involved by looking out for things you can sell as parts online. It's very easy to resell if you try. Start with things around your house if you don't have access to bulk recycling or thrift stores.
Money doesn't grow on trees, but you can make plenty in creative ways if you try.
Helping the environment helps everyone on the planet if you think bigger.
