From Trash to Cash: Recycling Junk Materials And Turned into Cash

Here in the Philippines, it is our traditions to collect junk materials and sell to the Junk shop. We are very lucky because our friend decided to dump some pile of concrete here in the Farm, the pile of concretes came from an old factory. The owner of the factory decided to renovated the place that is why, the piece of concretes was brought in here. We always do this specially when summer seasons. There are lots of recycle trash can be seen here in our residents. Even in the pile of garbage place, we also went their to search Cans, Nails, Plastics, Cardboards and even Metals. Metals is very valuable because of its high prize. Each Kilo reached up to 18 Pesos and for us, this is very perfect price. But this activity we did yesterday is quitely tired enough but if we keep doing a hardwork by getting this piece of metals in the concrete, we can sell more and gain big money.

This is quitely difficult to removed all metals in the concrete. It buries in the concrete many, many years ago and the Hammer we used was already broke up and destroyed. We've doing this 3 days already and even if it is tiring enough, we can still have fun time breaking those concretes and more importantly is to gain money out of this trash.

There are many kinds of sizes of metals we removed from the concrete and some of it was very difficult to removed and it needs to break the concrete hardly.

For how many times we tried to removed some of the big metals, we started to feel being tired enough that is why we decided to use grinder. Using grinder will make our job easily and we can easily removed the metal bars from the concrete. We cut the metal bars into a short one so that we can easily keep and put in the Sack. Putting in the sack and in one place can easily brought and load in the vehicle and aside of that, we can be ables to bring more of the pieces.

By using grinder, it must be wear safety equipment just like Safety goggles, gloves and a hat or hard hat use for construction but we don't have hard hats so we used a cap instead.

It takes a few seconds before it will completely cut each metal bars. After that we classified the metals from bigger to smaller one, and put in the sacks.

This big mallet is very important in this kind of work. It can easily break the concrete using this mallet and moil, a series of sharp big metals used to break the concrete. We carefully hit the concretes were the metal placed and gently removed the metal bars buried it. This kind of thing is made of metals that and this cannot be destroyed if we hit in the solid concrete.

I am very thankful to my uncle and he helped me doing this job. He was very busy cutting those metal bars while Im also busying breaking some of the concretes. This kind of work really needs time and I am really sure that our electricity bill will slightly rising up, well this is fine for us.

We are very lucky because we have scaling equipment and after classifying the big and small metals we immediately scaled it using this metal scale. It can scale up to 100 Kilos. We tried to scale all the metals we collected so that we will know the exact weight of the things.

After scaling all the pieces, we found out that the total weight of the metals we've collected was 250 Kilos. So if we multiplied 250 Kilos by 18 Pesos we can gain 4,500 Pesos. Not includes the plastics, cans and nails we also collected.

Truly I can say that trash will turn into cash and even if it was very tired, we can still enjoyed ourselves and making money out of this junks.

Cool, that's a lot ha. If kahit maka 100 kilos lang, oks na okas na din. Mahirap lang mag collect nang ganito, the oldies prefer na itambak yong lumang bakal, if ever nga naman kailanganin ba. Kesa ipag bili.

Yes tama po Ma'am. Napakahirap talagang mag-ipon ng mga lumang bakal lalo na kapag nababalutan pa ito ng semento. Maraming oras ang kailangan bago makaipon ng marami. ☺

Salamat po sa pagbisita sa aking post Ma'am. ☺
