Right, i have been looking on google for a couple of hours before asking here but i use a phone for the internet and the results of the search have not been great.

I am looking for other avenues of work aside from what i already do. I have been trying to find places that buy used . . .

Tyres

Paper

Clothes and fabric

And wood (no hope here i think)

Or any of the above shredded, mulched or ripped.

All important karma cookies for those all important names and numbers.

Many thanks to anyone who can be bothered to help with what is sure to be a painfully mundane task.

TBH I don't think there is that much profit to be made by selling this stuff on (now metals on the other hand) and the most profitable side is in being a waste broker, ie removing it from businesses for a fee.

However there are a lot of regulations involved when it comes to collecting, transporting and disposing of waste (even paper).

I am fully insured for carrying waste and have a waste carriers licence as i work the scrap anyway.

I knew a lad a couple of years ago who used to run in paper for about 55 quid a ton.

Only problem is i dont have his number anymore and he has moved from his old unit.

I know the rubber from tires can be sold too, though i think it might have to be ground up. Just cant dig any info up on it.

Cheers though.

Used paper isn't worth anything at the moment apparently, I watched a programme a few months ago and the businesses that used to make a lot from it have huge stockpiles and a lot have gone out of business because nobody want's to pay for it anymore.
