Expanding into other recyclables worth money

Hauling a box truck full of bottles to another state reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when Kramer and Newman tried to pull off the same thing - using a mail truck! HAHA! Anyone remember that?

Of course. One of the best episodes ever. It might have even been a two parter.

For me it's plastic. I get loads (for me anyway....HAHA) of it from computers, vacuums, small appliances. I have been trying to find a place local to me that will buy in SMALL qty loads from the public....no dice as of yet. I wish we had deposit on glass and plastic bottles in this state but we don't and again no one will buy SMALL qty loads from the general public.

If you have paper buyers in your area....trying mixing that with your lawn service. Maybe agree to free pick-up of all waste newsprint, magazines, computer paper, cardboard, etc...from your residental and commercial clients. Put a "green" enviro spin on it to seal some business.

How about composting the waste grass clippings and leaves from your lawn care business and reselling it as mulch/fertilizer for gardens? Again put some type of 100% organic enviro spin on it.....

you also need to know that if you sell a bottle with a crv on it to a state that pays the crv and the bottles did not come from that state ie you have to cross state lines then you are committing a class 4 felony
