From Trash to Cash!!

June 16, 2011 12:02am CST
Trash can be annoying especially when they are scattered everywhere! That's why here in my country, Many people are in to recycling trash into crafts that looks really good, they even sell it overseas. I personally think that recycling trash is really cool because it does beautify your place and helps the earth as well. We would like to hear your thoughts about it and tell us your experience (if you have any) recycling trash to cash~!! Happy MyLotting to All~!!

That is one of the wonders of human nature and existence. One man's garbage is another man's treasure.

Happens here all the time. There are big businesses based on the trash people throw out. For example, mattresses are big business. Many individuals roam the streets in vans and small trucks collecting discarded mattresses. From what i understand, the mattress factories pay 6 dollars for each one. Some people gather as many as 40 in one night.

When I was still studying in high school, we are attasked to make homeroom project involving the use of trash. In my case I used straw to make my own basket. It was a neat project and I earned a nice grade for it. Truly, recycling can help minimize our garbage disposal and will turn help our environment. Just keep on doing that Ray! Recycling is a good habit. God bless!

The other day I was at the grocery store and i had big cart full of grocerys when I got behind this lady with hundred of coupons. I was like oh no ill wait it cant be that bad. She literally took 30 minutes in the line. I asked her how did she collect that many coupons before they all expired? She said that her friend works at the recycling station and she goes there and gets the newspapers out of there and clips all the coupons!

I support for any creative action to reduce trash and change it to be something worthy.I'm not good in doing that but all I can do now is not increasing the number of trash in my neighbourhood.I'm very appreciate for people who can manage trash well and make worthy as well.
