Recycle for extra $$

I know it's been a few tears since I last posted anything on here but with working from home & also outside the home, I haven't had much spare time. back onto my topic for today, recycling is already in our nature & in most states of Australia, you can get paid $0.10 per bottle/can you recycle at certain places too. Queensland where I live has only just started with this about 6 months ago. You register online at www.conainersforchange.com.au (I think that's the website), they give you a number and you can start earning. You need to make sure the can or bottle you are recycling as the $0.10 on the back of it. the containers that you can recycle for the money are usually the ones you buy from the corner store, servos, takeaway shops, etc. You collect these containers in preferably reusable bags/sacks, put your special number in the bag/sack & seal it. You either take it to a place where you can get the money straight away or if you don't have time like me, leave them at a specified drop off point and you will receive your money in the bank account you nominated when you signed up. The first deposit can take up to 4 weeks but every one after that is usually no longer than a week. They will also email you a remittance advice when they have processed your payment. This is also a great way for kids to earn a little pocket money & see less litter on our streets as kids have been known to go around the streets picking up all the containers that are worth money. I have been doing this since it first started here in QLD & have earned approx $150.

If you have it but don't use it, sell it

Do you have unwanted or unused items laying around the house? Why not sell them for some quick cash? You could auction them off on eBay or another auction site, sell them on your local buy sell swap site on Facebook, sell them at the local Sunday markets or have a garage sale.

If you are unsure of what price to put on your items, your best be would be to auction them off on eBay or a similar site and let the market determine a price. Just remember to do your research to find out which way to sell your items will suit you. If you can't spend the time at the markets or have a garage sale, then your next best thing is to sell them on eBay or a Facebook group that allows selling. 

Not only will you be getting rid of the clutter from your house but you will be making some extra money which can then be put to better use than the unwanted clutter.
