RECYCLE REGREEN REUSE
Having a plan in the recycling game is key. I created a couple of relationships that have helped me develop a recycling program. Mind you, there is very little revenue in cardboard considering the massive amounts needed to make 20 dollars. It is around 300lbs to get to $20. And at lest a gallon a gas to collect material in my truck. Gas currently is averaging $4.35 or so in Los Angeles. So you can see that you got to move alot of card board to make $100. Last I checked it was $164 or so a ton for bulk cardboard.So this averages about 1500lbs to garner $100 more or less. This is my average give or take.
This may seem foolish to many, but the card board is free minus cost of gas.I am a full time thinker and doer in need of living resources. In my six cylinder Chevy that's about $25 or 5.5 gallons. So I get it, keep it up and then look back at three or four months. I recycle a $20 cardboard load 6\7 days. So far I've done this about 85 to 70 days since November 2011;Conservative estimate is 75 x $17 average = $1275 not a bad idea in retrospect. This is more than I last received in unemployment benefits.
Reminder that most recoverable matter is thrown away and create a benefit or reuse to know one but a corporate landfill.I actually have to let a considerable portion go to the dump or others, if they even catch it. I could benefit with additional trucks and like minded employees. I wish to expand the composting to create a line of fertilizing products and plants.
Furthermore, there are the fringe benefits to recycling anything and everything. I get a daily work out lifting, throwing and moving about $500lbs of total weight a day. People have stopped me and bought boxes directly for moving. Because I solicit a few food establishments, I get a lot of food waste mixed in. The reuse factor is the benefit to my vegetable garden and the new compost mixes I'm concocting. Literally I will pick up boxes of lettuce and organic cuttings or buckets of eggs shells and yolk matter. This is excellent for gardeners. I often get lettuce cores and onion stems that I've replanted adding four varieties of lettuces and onions in my garden. Green living is an actuality not a concept unattainable.
