The problem of processing recyclable materials, in particular, waste paper, is very relevant for our country. The potential for the development of this business, without exaggeration, is enormous, since every year Russians throw several million tons of paper into the trash. By organizing a waste paper collection point, you will not only be able to contribute to solving this problem, but also get a stable source of income.

- - premises.
Instructions
Step 1
Find distribution channels for waste paper. It is necessary to start this business from this stage, since you must clearly understand where and in what volumes you can sell the collected raw materials. These can be factories for the production of paper or factories that produce roofing material or gypsum building materials. Negotiate the price with future buyers: it is from it that you will build on, calculating your main costs.
Step 2
Purchase a cargo vehicle. At first, you can get by with only one car, with the help of which you will go around certain places, where waste paper will already be collected for you. It is advisable to choose a transport with a covered body.
Step 3
Find a room for receiving and storing waste paper. It can be any utility block or even a garage. For possibilities, choose a room with heating and electricity. Install the scale. To operate legally, you need a permit from the fire department.
Step 4
Determine the price for 1 kg of raw materials accepted. Keep in mind that it is unlikely that potential customers will pay too much. That is why focus on the social value of your work, and also target the low-income segments of the population. Post notices in the surrounding area and place free advertisements in the newspaper to inform the public about the opening of your facility.
Step 5
Try to establish reception of waste paper from the population for free. This is much easier to do than it seems at first glance. Many organizations will only be happy if you just take out paper waste from them on an ongoing basis. In addition, you can find volunteers among schoolchildren or organize an environmental action in a number of educational institutions. As a bonus, hand out thank-you notes and small prizes.
