blakegeee Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Anyone know a place in Chiang Mai that buys cardboard for recycling? I have a lot and I am curious what I can get for it. It would be convenient if the place was in the South part of the city if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSteve Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Mahidol Road between Airport Plaza and the Chiang Mai Land. On your left about 1K before CMLand. There is another one near Kad Kom(sp?), Coming from CM Gate turn right just after Kad Kom. Its adjacent to the newspaper printing factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Don't expect to get much for it. I doubt you will recover the petrol money ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Don't expect to get much for it. I doubt you will recover the petrol money ! You'll be surprised as to the scrap value of recyclables in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakegeee Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Don't expect to get much for it. I doubt you will recover the petrol money ! As it turns out, I live about 1/2 a km from this one near Kat Kom if its where I think he is describing! I have about a truck load too, all double-layer, a lot of kgs. Thanks for the directions guys! If I can't find that one, I go down Mahidol Rd everyday too so the other one is also very convenient and close for me. Its my lucky day, yahoo! I'll have 10's of baht before I know it!

Sounds like you probably live in the same area as me, near the Karaoke strip! Do you happen to know the rate per kg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSteve Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yes sir, a proud residence of the Soi Karaoke area, but no I've no idea about the prices. I know that they change(almost traded like a commodity). They have signs outside posting prices, if I'm by there tomorrow, I'll let you know what I find.

rebo Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 This site http://www.wongpanit.com/en-today-price.php shows updated scrap prices on a daily basis. Unfortunately it seems they have a database problem today but normally it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 There's a place just down the road from Pinkarat School. I took a truck full of old beer bottles, paper and aluminum cans and received 140 baht. I took a lot of stuff and thought I would get more. I don't bother saving the stuff to recycle anymore. The guys who rummage through people's rubbish bins are now welcome to anything they can salvage from my rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSteve Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I separate everything out. Not just to recycle, but to keep the area clean. The rummagers like to rip open bags and pull out bottles and such, but also pull out the rest of the crap and leave it all over the street. I've ended up having to hang a bag full of bottles on the fence so they don't have to bother ripping open the rubbish bags. My life is now centered around spoiling my local rummagers..... go figure!

I looked for the one by Kat Gom but I don't think its there anymore. Coming from the market, it is supposed to be on the left side, just before the newspaper place? I do see the newspaper place. The previous place before seems to have some equipment in there but no sign of recycling. Whens the last time you saw it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
