7 Free Recycled Items Sold In the Last 48 Hours For $594 - DIY Money To Keep Me Retired From The Corporate World.

Revenue from Fri & Sat = $594 ($370 cash/$224 online).

This netted $521 in pure profit after shipping and fees for an average of $260.50 per day.

This isn't a bad clip to maintain when you're an army of one trying to fight pollution outside of the corporate world. To be honest, I can easily sustain this rate and more when I focus. I'm pretty proud of what I can accomplish without a drop of help from anyone else. Slowly, but surely, I hope to inspire others to take control of their income and freedom. It's not an easy first step, but if you trust yourself to put in the work, good things happen.

As always, all inventory here was FREE, and I found more free stuff to replace some of this. I also found a nice modern tall two-light lamp for my bedroom with working light bulbs.

The kicker is that I also have my thrifting revenue, so this post is just about one stream of income.

Now it's your turn!

Everyone can do this to some degree, even if it's for $20. The goal is to keep these items alive and our of landfills or recycling centers where they may not be fully processed.

I'll keep sharing my recycling experience and tricks in hopes that people will start replying/posting with their own examples. That will make me very happy.

The Sales:

I found this Miele vacuum set in a bag on the curb a few weeks ago with a half broken prong on the plug. I spent $4 at the hardware store across the street from me and repaired it to fully working order in 7 minutes.

I sold it tonight to a Yoga & Wellness studio for $200 cash. They also let me use a foam roller on my back that had a knot in it to help before I play baseball tomorrow morning.

I bought the two crystals below for $6 to thank them for their business. One is a rose quartz and the other is tourmaline. Good karma, yo.

I found this Miele vacuum set on the curb and nothing was wrong with it. Go figure. I sold it on Friday for $170 cash via Facebook Marketplace. They came right to my doorstep 2 hours after messaging me for it. Easy.

I found this UPPAbaby stroller frame and literally just had to tighten 4 screws to fix the loose brake mechanism. I sold it online for "parts/repair" anyway to be safe for $93.50 a few miles away.

Yes, I sold this large empty Hermes box online for $65. I could've sold it for $15 more, but I wanted to move it.

I found this little Keurig frother part in a clear bag and sold it online for $22. Keurig replacement parts sell well.

A vacuum brushroll, belt and casing from a power nozzle that was dead sold online for $24.

Find reasons to save and sell stuff, not excuses why not.

Two small vacuum attachments sold online for $20.

Fancy? No... Free money? Yes... Is it all about the money? No...

Some of these things are decent in size or weight. All of these things are being repurposed or reused now. All packaging was recycled except tape. No waste... I'm proud to say that it's all because of me.

Yes, these were predominantly vacuum parts, but I take what the land gives me. Why not? There's obviously plenty of money in them, so look up your vacuums at home and see what its parts are going for.

Keep your eyes peeled and you never know what you can find.

When you come across something, try to "see what you can sell if for" instead of "seeing it as junk." That's my talent, and it's not rocket science.
