This week’s featured startup is ecycler.com. This innovative company connects those who are willing to stockpile recyclables with those willing to pick up and deliver your recyclables to the nearest recycling center. I find this to be a unique solution for budget-crunched communities that want to develop a recycling program, but may not have the funding. The other great benefit of ecycler is that users can actually profit from the program.
It works like this:
1. I save all of my aluminum cans for a period of time
2. I use ecycler.com to identify a local collector
3. I connect with the local collector and give them my cans
4. The collector brings your cans to a local facility
5. The collector is paid for the aluminum
6. The collector then pays me 40% of the price received for the cans
This is an incredible business model to encourage recycling because the user of the recyclable materials, the collectors, and the local government all stand to reap financial rewards through this program. Innovative approaches to old problems are exactly the type of businesses that ExecutivePlan loves to help promote. So if you want to earn a little extra cash by stockpiling your recyclables, or collecting your neighbors recyclables, then sign up for free at ecycler.com today.
