There's often value in basic household items people overlook when tossing them. I want to show examples to learn from, so we cut down on waste and make some money in the process.
Many societies condition us to toss something to buy a new one or better replacement. Demand exists all over the world for these items even if they don't work or are just parts.
Many things can easily be adjusted or easily repaired to restore to full value. If not, they can be sold in parts for often more than the original item itself. With just a little effort, this really adds up.
The purpose of the examples below is to give people ideas and inspiration for recycling some basic items and making money from it.

Once again, $930 / 20 = $46.50 of average revenue per item. It's a no brainer.
Goals:
- Rewarding fun work with happy customers helping me save items from being wasted.
- No-risk money earned to support myself.
- Educate others on how to gain more financial independence by helping the environment.
Win-win-win.
Once you sell one thing, you'll see how easy this is. Give it a try.
I have plenty more to show and am constantly selling these types of recycled items. Feel free to peruse my blog for past posts and follow to keep in touch!
