We get rid of them without regret, believing that it is impossible to derive benefit from them. But most of the time we are wrong. What we don’t need, someone will happily buy for money. Here are 12 examples of how knowledgeable people turn outright garbage into profit.
Bottles and jars of various cosmetics find their buyers among craft lovers and bloggers. They are often used as containers for various craft products, as well as as a background or props when recording videos and photo sessions. On trading platforms, such containers are offered both in bulk and in individual items.
We store packaging from TVs, microwaves and washing machines until the warranty period expires. After this, the boxes, which have become pretty boring after 1-3 years, are sent to a landfill. Meanwhile, many people will happily buy them from you. Boxes like air are essential for those moving to pack their belongings. Remember that the price depends on the size and condition, as well as on the contents. The packaging with bags and foam inside is a great value.
Many of us accumulate a large number of disposable sugar sticks. We bring them back from business trips and vacations, and bring them in our pockets from coffee shops. You can use these bags for home tea parties, and you can throw them away without regret. And the best thing is to sell them profitably. Collectors who are interested in sucrology will be happy to purchase them from you. They collect paper bags of sugar, which have logos and inscriptions on them.
Clothes hangers are very necessary items. But it also happens that there are too many of them. Instead of throwing them away, post them for sale online. Surely there will be those who need them more than you. There are buyers for both high-quality wooden and metal products and the simplest plastic ones.
It seems that there could be nothing more useless than paper shavings. But rest assured that somewhere there is a buyer for this product. You can purchase either several bags of shavings or a small package. It is bought in bulk by those who regularly send goods by mail. A small amount is needed for those who want to pack a fragile gift.
It may seem strange, but it is not difficult to find buyers for egg trays. Farmers selling eggs are looking for them on ad sites. They are also often purchased by those who breed food insects for poultry or exotic animals. Of course, you can’t make a lot of money on this product, but exchanging it for a chocolate bar or a can of coffee is not at all difficult.
Many of us still have audio cassettes from the 80s and 90s. They are of no use, but throwing away things with which so many memories are associated is not at all easy. Give these sound carriers a second life. Fans of vintage items will buy them from you. There are still many connoisseurs of music recorded on magnetic tape in the world.
These inkjet printer consumables are classified as hazardous waste. They must be disposed of in accordance with current regulations, and special organizations are engaged in this. But you can absolve yourself of responsibility for these specific details. On ad sites you can always find buyers for printer cartridges you don’t need. They are restored, recharged with paint and used again.
We know that many people collect wine corks in the hope that they will come in handy someday. But more often than not, the corks just lie around and eventually end up in the trash bag. Don't throw away unnecessary corks, but sell them to those who are in dire need of them. Most often they are bought by those who produce various craft products.
If you haven't been throwing out your whiskey and tequila glass containers, but instead inexplicably kept them in your closet, it's time to turn those bottles into money. This product is very popular on eBay - there are collectors abroad who are willing to pay 400-800 rubles for an empty bottle!
You can also find very tatty old things at home that cost a fortune.
