Re-usable garbage collector online

ENTREPRENEUR OPPORTUNITIES:

Finding opportunity in every work we do leads one to innovating options. This is the concept adapted by Chennai based start-up, Kuppathotti.com, an online utility garbage (scrap) collector. All you got to do is visit their site and register and soon an executive shall call on you for an appointment. Later the pickup boys will visit you in the company’s van. The collection boys arrive with all necessary accessories like weighing scales and packing material.

Anything from newspapers, empty milk sachets, plastics and metal waste, to assorted household junk and e-waste, is acceptable. Payment to the sellers is at their doorsteps. This facility is right now in Chennai only, but to be extended, soon to other metros. The vision of the founders is to serve the society by foreseeing a clean and eco-friendly environment throughout India within 2015.

The website welcomes by saying, `I, kuppathotti.com intend to help out busy people to throw away and get money for their pile of house hold junk like old newspaper, milk cover, broken things and plastic wastes etc., at door step. I avail this service upon the request sent to my bin. My service is not only for individuals but also for the organizations who find themselves deluged with a mountain of paper.’

Within six months of existence, it has 7,000 registered customers. Within 15 days of registering, it sets up an appointment according to the customer’s convenience. They currently employ 13 grads who go home-to-home collecting trash. “We want to give the raddiwala an image shift. It has already happened to security personnel and housekeeping services, which are now managed by professional systems. Why not with garbage disposal,” asks Jegan, one of the founders. Way2World acknowledges the team of their presence of mind and innovativeness. They are sure great examples of self-made brands from successful enterprises.
