The holiday season nets retailers more than $998 billion in profit, so parents are always looking for ways to boost income to cover those last-minute gift ideas. ABH Services has just the right answer as to how you can earn some passive income. Did you know that you could turn holiday trash into recycling cash and make a few extra bucks this year simply by recycling? Here’s what you need to know about the benefits of recycling service for cash by being thrifty and smart.
- Electronics
How many unused electronics, smartphones, or computer components do you have sitting in the garage or stuck in drawers? Exchanging electronics for recycling cash is one of the easiest ways to make a few extra dollars as electronics have a host of recyclable materials such as metal, plastic, and wiring. E-waste is so valuable, in fact, that recyclers can salvage hard-to-find parts or the precious metals within the casing.
- Aluminum Cans
Aluminum recycling is very popular among recyclers, and some families save up their cans just for Christmas shopping or for a family vacation. In fact, recyclers in America receive about $800 million annually from this type of material, so it’s the perfect go-to if you want to save up for a shopping spree. More than one billion dollars of aluminum gets thrown away, so it makes you wonder why more people are not saving up aluminum and selling it for between sixty cents to one dollar per pound.
- Household Appliances
Recycling household appliances is a smart decision, but many families dispose of them at the curb for garbage collection rather than at a local recycling location, which means you are throwing money away needlessly. Household appliances are bulky and non-biodegradable, so they take up space at the landfill forever. So, if you want a new refrigerator, washer, dryer, or stove this Christmas, cut the cost by recycling the old ones. When you drop them off at ABH Services, you are also helping local businesses that depend on the scrap metal, electrical wiring, or iron from our recycling service.
- Cardboard
Most Americans drop their cardboard into the garbage bin where they assume the recipient will recycle them, but you are giving that cash to someone else rather than keeping it for yourself. Cardboard is a vital component for manufacturers, so they pay well for recycled products rather than invest in newly made paper products, which amounts to about forty-three million tons annually. By recycling it yourself, there is also less of a chance of food or grease staining the material, which typically prevents it from being recycled. Moreover, you are making a green pledge for the economy.
- Glass
How many times have you chipped a drinking glass or opened a can of spaghetti sauce cause only to throw them away in the garbage can? If this sounds familiar, it’s because most of us do not associate glass with popular recycling products. In fact, glass is a 100% renewable and an unlimited resource that never loses purity. In fact, American businesses buy about three million tons of glass from recyclers each year.
