The Recyclists

Michael Ballack

When Chelsea ace Michael Ballack was 10 years old living in Germany, he was re-cycling in his local town too.

Now Michael is earning a whopping £100,000 a week ! He collected glass bottles,plastic bottles and paper. His Dad kept driving him on to do the best he could.

My Sunday Business

Every Sunday of every week I take my time to get some money for my school trip.I travel round St.Andrews to my 15 customers to collect their re-cycling to my local re-cycling center.

I charge my environmental customers £1 per bag i can also give them a green bag for a £1. My day starts when I set off through the home of golf, cycling to people's houses. I am very lucky to have all my customers, but one stands out because I have lunch at their house!

When I arrive home I count up all my money I normally have alot, I add it to my bank and watch it grow.
