Are you in Lagos, would really love to know more about the scavenging business there so much money in it.

mickey4tutorial:
Hello guys! I am already established in scrap scavenging business, I have my push cart and I make a minimum of N3000 per outing. My relations did not me doing the business but I like the business because of it's profitablity, green nature and freedom of work.

Recently, my relations offered to open a new POS business which I am reluctantly doing. The POS business is not yielding money much as compared with the scavenging Business.

It seems they are forcing the business on me. Should I continue with my scavenging business and ignore their advice?

Follow your ion and grow.

POS biz don cast, disregard those people and hustle on scrap like your life depends on it

Okortor:
POS is great in an hotspot location having enough cash to pay customers.

the biggest headache in POS business is sources of cash.
It's my business, right now it's crumbling for want of cash.

Scavenging isn't a good job no matter how much U make....it's got so many disadvantages...U could be exposed to an infection or false accusations while scavenging!
On the other hand,POS offers U an opportunity to meet so many people of different status and with a decent appearance and a bit of convincing skills u may have a big customer base which could make U 5-6 times the money U make in a day from scavenging!

FitCorper:
Haba mana. Growing up I thought it was only mad men that pick stuffs from the ground. But hope you don’t smoke igbo sha?

those aboki wey you dey look fit make 10k with an hour of legit pickings, no look them like that o. Op saying 3k per day might be plastic bottles which is around 200-300 naira per kilo. Scrap metal is the koko

Who still remain wey never do POS?

Your family are not proud of your scrap hustling. If I were you, I will continue with the scavenging work and prove them wrong.

Can specify the particular trash that one will be picking?

"Green waste" what does this mean pls?

magabounce:
Continue your scavenging business, but because you're more enlightened, you can partner with @cyclexafrica. A company that deals with cash for trash, and make your cool money. Also look at scaling especially in green waste

Electronic, plastic, fabric, metals. Are these the waste that scavengers pick from the dump or ground?

CodeTemplarr:
Africa is a huge dumping ground so scavenging isn't such a odd idea. Electronic waste is there. Plastic is there. Fabric is there. Metals too.

What do you mean. One cant make 3k daily from POS business?

Charmingrascal:
Except you are in a a good location, you can't make 3k on POS business daily.

You are a man, you have your choice to make.
Continue with what you are familiar with.

it is a very dirty job. You have to remove shame from your face and soul before you get into it. You'll then have to gradually learn the difference between the various metals by sight then between slag iron and ordinary stone. You have to know all these things before entering the big leagues of buying from other smaller scrap dealers and finally buying trucks of scrap iron which you'll sell to steel companies which is where the money is

honestly, if you see where people dey struggle dey break concrete just to remove the iron rod , you go dey wonder

Where do you normally get cash from, to give to customers?

Densamo2024:
I do POS for a living since last year.
I started with a Loan of N100k from Easy buy. At the first to third month I was making minimum N2000 a day. But entering the fourth monthn, I have established a strong customer base and build relationship with my customers. I make minimum N10,000 to N15,000 a day. I save atleast N150,000 above monthly after expenses.

Pos is a big business if you're in a strategic location with business people and ers-by , e.g Market place, popular junctions and busy streets.


My business is currently worth N1.5m

My rent is N300k, my house is furnished and I dress well and expensive.

Proudly a Pos man at 33.

How can one start the scavenging business?

100k a day! Are you joking?

Jovin894:
The best decision so far... Continue ur scavenging business... Pos is nothing to talk about... I see some guys making 100k a day in scavenging

Love800:

It's a well paying business. That's all I can disclose. Others see it as for abokis, and underrated them ...that's why the update never cast.

RZArecta:
you don't need to tell me, I see everything live

they are making big money that's why

Bro, I strongly recommend focusing on the scrap business. It offers far greater opportunities and long-term potential. The POS business is already overcrowded, and more people are continuously entering that market. In contrast, the scrap industry provides numerous avenues to explore as you build capital. You can venture into iron, aluminum (like soda cans), PET bottles, plastics, and more. There's significant profit in scrap, but the most important requirement is having the courage to stay unashamed and the willingness to put in the hard work, even if it gets messy.

MrStarskie:

It's my business, right now it's crumbling for want of cash.

Seniorwriter:

Do both.

Use two to three weeks to have a full scope of the POS biz then employ a personnel.

There’s and end to end waste management solution that we can benefit from once we’re willing to get dirty.
Bad Fruits and vegetables, are fed into the ecosystem and you get paid for it. Those fruits and veggies also feed another ecosystem.
It’s really beautiful.
