Did you know that the old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans lying around your house could earn you money? Scrap selling is one of the easiest ways to make extra income while also contributing to a cleaner environment.

🏠 Start With What You Have

Look around your home — old newspapers and magazines, cardboard boxes from deliveries, empty plastic containers, broken electronics, and unused metal items are all valuable recyclable materials. Instead of throwing them away, sort them into categories.

📦 Sort & Organize

Separate your scrap into categories: Paper, Plastic, Metal, Electronics, and Glass. Clean, well-sorted scrap fetches better prices. Remove any food residue from containers and flatten cardboard boxes to save space.

💰 Know Your Prices

Different materials have different values. Generally, metals like copper and aluminum fetch the highest prices, followed by electronic components. Paper and plastic are lower in value but make up for it in volume. Keep an eye on current market rates.
