I think you'll find his profits come from kids sweets ie something that sells for 2p and he sells for 3p so say you have 250 MoJo's in a box thats
5GBP and 2.50GBP profit add that to all the other sweets and total it up at the end of the weeks that some profit.I know this because I used to own 2 mobile shops. :-)

I don't think they are recycled but disposed of 'safely' whatever that means.
Car batteries contain lots of expensive lead and are worth re-cycling.

Nope , I'd have quite happily reported them before I joined the police. It was having that sort of attitude to things that made me want to give it a go.

I can't think why you'd want to. Water is much nicer, and cheaper.

Too late! Someone already did, and he's running loose on another usenet newsgroup. :(

Recycling is not equal to remanufacturing.
The county where I live in recycles computers. The collect them twice a year and send tractor trailer loads of them to a prison to be parted out for the various metals. Nothing working comes out of the program.
I remanufacture them by replacing any defective parts and correcting any software problems, then they are given to the disabled in my area who need a computer, but can't afford to buy one. What is left over is then recycled. The county gets the sheet metal, I sell the aluminum, and the scrap PC boards are sent to a county program that teaches people to solder to practice solder rework. I am still looking for someone to take the plastic from the cases and old keyboards.

err no, I pay for a taxi. Although if someone does go out with us and they agree to be the driver we pay for their soft drinks - the ones that can cost twice as much as the alcohol.
You should try this ... if you ever find any friends.
I'm in the north (Tyneside) and most bars round here charge more for Coke than they do for lager. I've stopped buying the draught Coke as it's bloody horrible stuff.
I was thinking the other day about the markup they must make on that "spray-on mud" stuff they sell to twathead 4x4 drivers.

I wish it was.
I'll open the door.
Oh, I forgot to add, IIRC it costs about £5-6 a can.
Thats what freeplay marketing said to Trevor Baylis.

Oh dear, If I'd have actually read the article I linked to I'd know it was a massive £7.95 a bottle!
Recycling companies sell whatever they can to be remanufactured, as it makes it easier for them to achieve the targets set under the EU waste directives.
