Paper waste has become "Scented oysters"
When reporters visited a number of waste stations in the city, they found that although the prices of most waste products have risen, the oldest newspapers and hard paper shells were the paper scraps sold. At 2:30 pm, reporters saw at a scrap yard on Shaoxing Road that bundles of old newspapers were piled under tents and ready to be resold. Some cardboard boxes were being shipped to a truck. The owner of the waste station told the reporter that at present, their waste station mainly deals with the recovery of waste paper.

Xiao Li, who is shipping cardboard boxes on the truck, told reporters. Now many residents will pick up old newspapers and sell them to waste stations. They can collect nearly a ton of hard paperboard and 200 kilos of old newspapers each day.
At a waste collection station on Dunhua Road, Xiao Sun, the person in charge, told reporters that old newspapers and cardboard boxes were also the focus of their acquisition. “We have been able to collect one truck of old newspapers here for ten days. These old newspapers were shipped to different places. Some were sent directly to the paper mills.†Xiao Sun told reporters that to do this business, earning three or four cents per kilogram, “Do not look at low profits, but we rely mainly on the number of large income, a car also Can earn more than 200 yuan."
Increased number of waste acquisition practitioners
In an interview, the reporter learned that due to the increase in scrap purchase prices, the scrap purchase industry has also begun to change its fire. The old Wang Wang, a scrap dealer from Surabaya, told reporters that he has his own farmland in his hometown and will come to Qingdao when he is free. Collect waste, "come four or five years. This year's feeling is that more and more people are collecting waste products."

He also invested tens of thousands of yuan to start this business. " However, there are too many people doing scrap purchases. There are nearly 10 waste stations around here."
A person in charge of a waste collection station on Shaoxing Road told reporters that it was two years ago to come to Qingdao to do the scrap purchase business. “The cost of living for a wife and child is not a problem.†The responsible person told reporters that in their hometown The villages in Surabaya have less than 2,000 people in the entire village. However, there were two to three hundred people who had come to Qingdao to push their cars to collect fees and open waste products this year. "There are too many and fierce competition."
Expected "heat waste" will warm up
