How To Start Your Own Paper Recycling Business

By on April 23, 2003 in Ideas


Home Based Business Opportunities:

One of the easies—and in fact one of the oldest ways of making extra money–is by collecting old newspapers and selling them to a recycling plant in your locale.

Believe it or not, you can develop a very respectable income collecting and selling paper to the recycling centers. It certainly does not take any education, specialized training or experience; it’s as simple as saving your old newspapers and turning them in to a central collection depot.

Some “paper recyclers” are making more than $100,000 a year in this business. In other people doing it, then there’s no reason YOU can’t do it! About the only equipment you’ll need is a pickup truck or a trailer that can be pulled along behind your personal car. We even found one “old timer&qu interviewing him, we found that he was deliberately choosing not to expand, although he very definitely could have.
