Answer 6

yess um all you need is the right feild to sell your cardboard and it looks like hobo land is in high demand. i'm pretty sure you could make a trade for a shoestring and a tree branch

Answer 7

Practically nothing.

Back in the 70's my brother recycled cardboard on quite a large scale. He even had a large bailing machine to compress it and make it more manageable. He then sold it direct to a paper mill to ensure the best price.

However since we have all been encouraged to recycle, the supply has outstripped demand. In fact in Birmingham now we have to pay the " Cardboard men", to take it away.
