Two words can drive this rather easy way to make money: junk and inconvenience. If you peruse the daily classifieds, you will often see listings for free giveaways or curb alerts. People may have free fencing, large metal pieces and dead appliances that are free for the taking if you will just get it out of their home or yard. They may not have the time, resources or motivation to haul this “junk” away. If they don’t want to make money on their “junk”, then you can. Capitalizing on the laziness of others is a great way to start making money.
Believe it or not, you might be able to sell your used tires. If they are in usable shape, but simply need a patch, a junkyard might be willing to buy them from you in order to repair and then resell them. In fact, you can actually make quite a bit of money selling used tires to the right car smell if you shop around to find one that will pay a decent price. Some people have used this to bring in a secondary income for their families, placing ads in the local papers collecting other people’s used tires for free, and then reselling them to a local junkyard.
If you think this is too easy a process and doubt the quality of the salvage yards that will take away your car, relax. The surest indicator that the yard is reliable is its license number, choose the one with a license number and you can be rest assured that you have got the best place that won’t dupe you.
When scrapping your car you could make some extra money. How much cash you will get will depend on on varying different things. Most scrap car disposal companies pay a rate which is in line with current scrap prices. This figure can be subject to change and they can go up or down. Many companies will look to see if you have added any additional weight to the car. This may be household, any non-metal objects or any other kind of refuse. Its always recommended to inspect the car thoroughly before passing it on for scrap to be sure you haven’t left any personal or valuable items in it.
