Curate This. DIY Recycling - More 100% Free Inventory Saved & Sold...

I want to keep sharing posts like this since helping the environment and promoting financial independence are key priorities.

Here are more recent examples of household items people naively or lazily throw out that I recover and sell with ease for income.

I hope that these ongoing examples can wake people up to see that wasting good products because of a small issue or a new replacement are lousy ignorant excuses that generate an exorbitant amount of unnecessary waste.

The damage is twofold because consumers who need these items are often buying new parts or units they ultimately don't need to. If you don't need the money from resale, others need the savings, and our planet certainly needs the help with less pollution. Think about it.

I have so much stuff that hasn't sold or been listed yet that I'm looking into storage space and expanding. I'm just a one-man show now looking at most 2 hours on just weekdays on my city's curbs, ONLY immediately around my apartment. Imagine what we could do if others actively got involved to the extent they can...

It's not always about the money...

It's about saving these items from being destroyed, connecting them with people who need them, and helping our planet one item at a time.

Leading by example:
