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:
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

Can you list these locations?
Lol. How am I supposed to know that? Someone in Lagos should suggest locations of wherever you are? Not possible na. Look for góod location in your vicinity including inner streets.
Love800(m): 5:19pm On Nov 27, 2024
Well done thanks. I did not say list the name of streets or places. I just want to know whether its a maket place, plazas, T-junctions etc.

If you don't have any idea, no problem. Thanks so much.

It's crumbling because you don't know your way around it and largely depends on your location. So no bank, filling stations and market to liase with in order to get cash? Even Bank will give you 2M cash if you need it. Forget.

I can only speak base on my vicinity. The markets, junctions you mentioned are good only in a place devoid of Agbero.

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?
...
Brah... just chose what's in your mind an let the rest be in God's hand

Why not google it and make more research on it via internet... If you know any doctor, you can ask for more info or go to a hospital
Testimony1988(m): 6:57pm On Nov 27, 2024
If you can't manage the POS business yourself, then no need of doing it, continue with what you know how to do best.

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.

Bro is it only pos you do and are you the one running it

Thanks bro..

Really appreciate! One love

RZArecta:
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

Hello,
My company has started a large-scale scrap collection & recycling business. I have collection centre points in Lagos.

Looking to expand in other states. My company is investing millions of Naira.

If anyone is interested in getting their hands dirty to do scavenging / if you are already scavenging for scraps, especially PET bottle scraps, other plastics, aluminium cans, glass bottle, - come work for my company. We will pay double or triple what you are earning currently.

I am looking to hire 100 employees in this business.

Reach out to me on whatsapp or call: +234 8165880485
