Those who purchase newspapers, magazines and other stuff often have a lot of discarded scrap in their house. In some countries selling the newspapers can make some money. Do scrap dealers pay for newspapers, packaging material in your country?

Yes this business is also good here, people are willing to purchase old news papers and scrap in very low price and sell it to main dealers in high prices. Usually they come to house and ask for it many people need to clean houses from scrap so this business is good one here.

Selling newspapers, packaging material, and other daily items can provide an additional source of income for people in need. Selling these items can provide a way for people to make money without having to work full-time jobs. It can also provide a way for people to make money while they search for more stable employment.

The main advantage of selling newspapers, packaging material, and other daily items is that it requires minimal investment and training. This means that anyone can start to sell these items and make money without needing to invest a large amount of money. Additionally, many of these items are in high demand, so sellers can make a decent profit.

The main disadvantage of selling newspapers, packaging material, and other daily items is that the profit margins are usually low. This means that it can be difficult to make a lot of money from selling these items. Additionally, the sales of these items can be unpredictable, as they are dependent on current trends and demand.

Overall, selling newspapers, packaging material, and other daily items can be a viable source of income for people in need. However, it can be difficult to make a lot of money from selling these items, and the sales are unpredictable.

I have not really seen any scrap dealer buying newspapers though i might be wrong. But recently the business of selling of news papers has not really been that lucrative .

The kind of material that they collect in bulk here in my country is empty cartons that are used to pack some things before which they have now turned into reselling it for those that are into paper production.

People also sell old newspapers in this part of the world but a lot of people do not see it as a lucrative business. Those who package scrap materials don't use newspapers though.

I for one buy old newspapers for my business. It is not something that you should do as a main hustle. It is a good side hustle if you have access to those old newspapers.

Plastic bags are not allowed in my city anymore. Some locals use the newspapers in wrapping the items being bought by the people here. I do agree that some of them sell old newspapers to have more money.

Probably, there are some businesses that should not be taken as a man hustle. You should just take it as an extra way of making money.

I do not like any of the businesses that you have mentioned even though they seemed to be good. You cannot make reasonable money from it.

I know a lot of people that are into the business of selling roasted corns by the roadside, always buy old newspapers that they use to wrap their roasted corns 🌽 for their customers.

Getting the newspapers may actually be a problem because there are a lot of people who are in need of it. Except if you are someone that buys newspapers everyday.

We are living in world where everything have monetary values. I sold off my father newspaper compolation after he died. The amount I have made from it is so small but is better than to discard it or throw it away.
