Self Employed Recycler Turns Walks into Cash
John Ball, 70, retired from heavy duty work after kidney surgery, walks 20 miles daily in Mount Vernon to collect bottles and aluminum cans. He earns about $100 monthly from Social Security by selling recyclables, aided by a hook and basket setup and occasional help from the state Highway Patrol. Ball says winter pickups yield mixed returns, finds clothing and toys on his routes, and uses earnings to fund a 1975 pickup to haul recyclables to centers.
