dizzy 1 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 Hi, Where do you normally store those old newspapers before selling them to garang guni or passing them to the recycling companies ? I've tried the following places:1) cabinet - too small, cannot accumulate to a large stack2) storeroom - My storeroom is too smallI now put them in a stack beside the shoe cabinet...very unsightly leh....any suggestions ?

lin_stapler 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 I think its oklah to give to karang guni man. Especially to those old people who sometimes collect cardboxes and cans. Rather than throw away... helping the under priviledge also good mah. At my old place, I put in the kitchen. A bit unsightly. Now I stash it in the shoe cabinet. When it is a bit full, just bring it downstairs near any dustbin. Sure got ppl collect one to sell. Used to have one old lady collect from me... but now we moved, she dunno our new place lor.

zeny 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 the garang guni "man" in my area are those china man and woman and guess what when i tried to sell the newspaper to them, they tell me newspapers is worthless they dun want, but they wants computers, handphone, amipifier, audio, stereo etc from that day onward, i didnt bother to call them when i have papers but one thing i dun like is when i put the newspaper outside cos no room at home to store them, these guni man or woman actually help themselve to it and dun even have the courtsey of tell me that they took it so now i keep track of when sembcorp is collecting the papers and cans and i just put it into the bag provided by them and put it outside on the date of collection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
