🧠 Ideas to Source Materials (Legally and Easily)
Want to turn your side job into a side hustle? Try these ideas:
1️⃣ Ask clients if they’re throwing anything away
Contractors and techs are often in homes or job sites where materials are going to waste. Ask if you can take them and recycle.
2️⃣ Offer a “clean out” option
When you remove an appliance or component, offer to dispose of it properly — then bring it to the yard.
3️⃣ Partner with other trades
Know a roofer or demo crew? Ask them to save scrap for you in exchange for a cut or trade.
4️⃣ Keep bins in your van or trailer
Separate materials by type so they’re ready to recycle — and easier to get top value.
💬 Real-World Examples
“As an electrician, I used to toss leftover wire. Now I bring it in weekly and it pays for my gas.”
“We’re a small junk removal company. Clean The Planet has helped us turn debris into dollars.”
“I just started asking clients if I could take old microwaves. Easy drop-off and fast cash.”
