Papers are valuable

Have you noticed Ikea furniture are wrapped in paper as well as styrofoam? Ever wondered how these paper can be put to good use?

It is such a waste to see these paper ending up in the trash bin. These are not small pieces of paper but large ones. Well, I keep them, not for writing or drawing. I keep them so that I can reuse them to wrap my food leftovers which are to be thrown.

These papers are absorbent and so will come in useful. My mother is always hunting for papers to wrap leftovers before they are thrown into the dustbin. These are better than plastic bags which do not absorb liquid.

As for the carton boxes, they can earn you your breakfast, so think twice before discarding!

Value in your trash

Have you ever wondered what to do with these boxes each time you unload your grocery shopping bag? Worry no more as these will 'earn' you some money, at least for a 'teh-tarik' session.

I accumulate these boxes, bundle them up together with other carton boxes and sell them. There is no more inconvenience now that recycled items traders come to my doorstep. Each time, I pocket between RM5 to RM12 (by far the highest).

So, ladies! There is value in your trash!

Papers, paper boxes, carton boxes...

It pays to be patient. They are not useless afterall. In fact, keeping them for a while can earn a little money. Not less than RM5 each time. I managed to sell them twice already. Each time it's just a stack of newspaper and some paper and carton boxes.
