BaanzaYour waste has a price. Learn it here first.
Baanza connects homes and businesses with collectors who buy recyclables by the kilo and take away what nobody buys. Before the app opens, the Baanza Academy is already free to use: the A to Z of 219 everyday things, video courses and The Baanza Comic.
219 everyday things, each with what to do and whether somebody will pay for it.
- Prices come from real buyers. We never invent one.
- You see the weight before you confirm a sale.
- Money for a pickup is held until the waste is gone.
- A person, not a robot, settles any argument.
Learn what your waste is worth. Then go and earn it.
Free, and open before you ever sign up. Find out what each thing is, what to do with it, and whether somebody will pay for it.
Pure water sachets
Pure water sachets are nylon, a Baanza material category sold by weight, and almost nobody collects them — which is exactly why they are everywhere.
CarefulSell itEngine oil
Used engine oil is one of the most damaging things you can pour on the ground, and one container of it contaminates a very large volume of groundwater.
Give it awayHave it taken awayCarpet and rugs
A clean carpet or rug with life left in it should be passed on rather than dumped, so list it in Baanza's Donate and Swap section.
Sell itGlass bottles and jars
Rinse your bottles and jars, take the lids off and keep them together in a crate or a strong sack so they do not break.
