Hello Lotters,
Nope, I didn't get this from mylot since the pay day is four to five days away and I have stop earning on other sites most specifically PTC and others
.
As few Mylotters know, were currently into this construction for our future commercial space.unfortunately, we had to moved the book and file cabinets from the area where it's going to be affected by the construction.
but we've been getting a lot of junk at the back yard, which is something bad because it's gonna get a bit over crowd. so, the only solution there is, "JUNK SHOP"
though i have talk to a lotter who has her own junk but there's too much stuff that we didn't have an available vehicle to take it all, and She's too far away. so, we went to the nearest Junk Shop instead. I acquired first and when we got to borrow their pedicab, we were able to get most of the Junk. Metals,Aluminums, plastics, (OLD VHS tapes
and old PS1 CD's.).
We got there and after counting all the junk, we got 20$ all in all but i gave my cousin the half of it since he insisted it when i was just planning for it.
Nice, now i know where i can earn my money from also

HI LetranKnight25, It is real good to take your stuff in. We save all of our cans and plastic bottles all year. We also take our boys on a nature walk and we pick up the trash on the side of the road. You can find alot of cans on the side of the road. In one weekend we cashed in over $200.00. You can make money off the people that liter our roads. So thanks to them for being rude and throwing there stuff out of the window. Make sure you don't be a liter bug and clean up.

Hello Sterra,
WOW! 
200$ is a lot of money on my watch, well, I don't mind collecting trash now a days knowing I would earn from it. Probably I should have known this a long time ago but it's never too late I guess. That's good for you for collecting non biodegradable trash, most specially cans of soft drinks. Good luck to you and have a nice day.

Hello jazel,
yeah, that's good idea it will lessen dirt and insects like mosquitos who likes to hide in the dirt or crap stuffand it would help you lessen your dusty duties leading to more space for new storage to comeprobably sort things that are needed by junk shop. if you have fan, tear it down from parts to parts.

Yes junks can give you money if only you have the time and diligence to gather them around your house or office. There is money in junks indeed and this is the reason why many junkshop owners are rich. However, they really gave to bear with the mess and the unpleasing sight of mountainous junks all around them.

Hello salonga,
I am not that smart but my cousin is. he knows the weight and the prices. he even have some parts from our broken electric fan separated to have bigger weights and prices on each junk. am not sure about how junks are put some place else but i guess if they do sell them to customers it would be much too expensive than the ones they purchase from customers.

Congratulations on making that money. I wish there was something like that close to where I live. I have plenty of junk and other stuff that I need to get rid of for some money at least. I hope that you spend the money wisely and all. I wonder what they do with the junk. Do they resell it or just scrap it.

I was able to keep some of those very odd junks but was able to sell it high with my cousins help. well, you can start your own junk shop business but i don't know if it's me that you should be asking because there are sites in the internet that can serve as your referrence, have a nice day

Hello Hardworkinggurl,
It was mostly my cousins idea since he knew the trades and how much it was worth the try. but he was persistent and we earned 40$ in two days for kept sending him some package junks, of course, i shared the earnings with him that's for sure. he's cool, he knows stuff and were blessed to have him as a helping hand.

That's what I'm hoping we can make when we clear out this house we are currently in. My boyfriend's wife walked out on him last April, leaving the bulk of her things here in the home. She contacted him earlier this year after MONTHS of nothing, requesting a few things but the bulk of this crap is getting sold. Now I've got to find a way to get it all out! I hope we can get something for this crap!

Thanks for the advice! I did a lot of thinking overnight about our financial situation and I'll be repurposing things we already have, like the dining room table, as well as other money-saving ideas. We are just starting out together, but with my income so spotty (I'm off this week where I'm used to earning 32 hours a week), we have to be concerned with cash now.

Hello Scorpio Babes,
Make sure that they haven't been a termite meal or the junk collectors will never accept it such.though, am not sure the recycle system there but am sure you get there as well. But am sure you get paid but I only recall that plastics and aluminums are the only popular once that can be paid from those junks, you should inquire first alright. Have a nice day.

Hi Letran,
Must be a lot of junks to come up with such amount of money. I do this at home too, I don't throw away soda/softdrink bottles, cans, broken electronics, metals and other stuff but instead collect them and whenever there's a considerable amount already, I try to catch the friendly junk collector who roams around the subdivision every morning looking for junk items to buy. But the most I money I could generate from it is around P450 (or $10 more or less).

Hello doryvien,
No
, look for a junk shop and asked for the price list of metals,aluminums, and other stuff, more like canvas that can pay you bigger for your junk. I think you get paid less if you ran over with the junk collector. If you are selling tons of sacks of those for just 10$ I think you should go to the junk shop directly, it could help you earn more.

Hi LetranKnight,
Oh so the old VHS tapes are gone...
My dad and bro should read this...
We only get some money about a 1USD or maximum 2 by selling out old newspapers but hey, I get some Idea now and hope that I can make a few INR for sure.... All I have to do now is to convince my loving wife for selling off some of the oldies that have been occupying their space since ages and we have been moving around with them each time we change the house

Hello thesids,
Wow! two dollars worth of newspapers is a LOT for me, unfortunately, I foolishly gave my newspapers to an old lady who lied about loosing her money to a crook
but since that junk shop existed now i might as well visit it every time we start getting a Kilo or two for the papersas for the shared earnings, i decided to think it carefully@krajibg (11922)

Hello Mspitot,
We have no choice since part of the stock room is going to be part of a future constructed commercial rent. So, that's why we had to stash up the stuff that are completely useless and that are no longer necessary unless it's a real good for memory. Unfortunately, we also requested to have the two narra trees cut since it's been clogging up post wires. Which my brother strongly disagreed. Have a nice day.

That's great! And good for the environment, too! We humans are creating so much junk we're really killing our mother earth. If we manage our junk well, then, we can delay the destruction a bit in time for us to come up with ways to rehabilitate the earth. We do that usually at home, because there are people who come and collect plastics, bottles, metals and aluminums for a fee. And, the barangay has caught on. It's now the barangay buying those junks and recycling them. Now, it's safer (sometimes in the past, some people posed as junk buyers, but were actually thieves!

Good for you.
At home,we too got lots of junks inside a vacant room made a stock room. There are lots of malfunctioned tv, computer keyboards, electric fans etc., yet my senior parents-in-law doesn't want to get rid of them. And so with my husband - who thinks they could still be repaired despite one time was rejected by a technician who came to the house to see them.
But it's been 4 years now and they still remained there, unrepaired.

Hello Simplyd,
I was advised by cousin that if the electrical appliances are not that too outdated you can sell them to electronic shops. your family should think twice about keeping junks because they are only harboring mosquitos and other insects, not to mention dust here and there. if the technician rejects it then it's time to sell and get rid of it, plain and simple.

Helo Raj,
that's not enough if you consider giving money to the poor but with 20$ you can buy ten to one hundred bowls or porrige soup and give it to at least a hundred malnutritioned and hungry children. As for the orphanage you can set up feeding programs for a week with that money or at least days depend on the number of street children.

As the old saying goes, there is gold to be found in garbage. I was able to get a much bigger amount a few years back when I cleaned out my garage. There was just too many old and broken electric fans, UPS and gadgets. Plus a lot of cables. I was planning on setting up a computer shop and most of the stuff I got were never used, so I just junked them. I will be disposing of two computers in about a months' time but I won't get that much cash from the computers.

Hello Anne25,
I should have known this a long time ago, we had a lot more junks back then but lack nearby junk shops.as for broken electric fans, you can still have it fix most specially if it's not a decade old. I think you can reserve the CPU casing as a aluminum junk and can give you some small in it.

Well LetranKnight it is said that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure! Isn’t it great to earn money so unexpectedly? We used to have neighbours who lived across the road from us who used to shop for all kinds of stuff at garage sales for next to nothing and then re-sell the goods for a small profit. They did this to supplement their earnings which they told me was not enough to cover their bills etc. Not a bad way to earn, I thought...

Hello akangirl, selling those things were the right thing to do I believed. Well, you don't earn much because the junk people who roam around doesn't give you that much and they are the ones earning big wigs. That's why we decided to go to the junk yard directly and sell them instead by ourselves.

Online earnings are not much. We definitely have to earn money elsewhere. If online earnings are enough to feed the family, then i myself would resign from my work and just stay home and earn. In this manner i would save money from transportation.

Hello globaldoc,
I don't think we can rely solely on online earnings since internet depends on network connection, and electricity. What if technology suddenly diminishes, internet will be useless for some reason. You should never give up work and consider online earning as part time instead of fulltime.
