You will need a place where you can sort and store all the aluminums that will be collected once you are in full operation with your business.

How do you market your business? One of the ways to market your business is by posting banners and tarpaulins in your area. You can also distribute flyers in areas where there are lots of people like malls and supermarkets. You just have to indicate the schedules, date and possible time of collection per area. Another way of advertising is by creating a website for your business. The internet is so powerful that with just a click of the mouse your website can be accessed by thousand of people in an instant.
