I did a search and found a similar idea, the
Newspaper Exchange Rack. I decided to
post PaperSwap,com because I think it
solves a related but different problem than
the N.E.R.
Having a perpetually existing stack of
newspapers in the house is a fact of life
for a lot of people, myself
included. How
about a website which would facilitate
newspaper recycling or exchange between
people in the same area. Somebody who
reads the paper in the morning could give
theirs to someone who reads at night, or
people could trade different papers. Other
literature like books and magazines could
also possibly be traded/recycled.
Only vaguely related...

We have that, it's called 'the coffee shop'. |
|
| |
Just kidding, it's the library. |
|
| |
reading an already read newspaper is like dining from the leftover scraps of the patrons sitting at the next table. shame on you. |
|
| |
Ah, yes, we *really, really* need some complicated mechanism to save people the expense of making a 50¢ to $1 purchase. Not. |
|
| |
(And websites for swapping books already exist.) |
|
| |
Yeah websites for swapping research papers already exist too. |
|
| |
That idea is well-baked in the men's room stall where
I work, although I think that just started out of
laziness or forgetfulness. |
|
| |
You work in a mens room stall? Gosh, I thought
cubicles were bad, but that really takes the cake. |
|
| |
Titletrader.com or paperbackswap.com. exist for books. |
|
| |
Some local coffee shops do newspapers. A drive thru shop next to a scrap paper dealer would be ideal. |
|
| |
And near an airport/train/bus station, so the out of town papers show up regularly. |
|
| |
This happens with the Metro (free newspaper) on transit
vehicles. No website to facilitate it. I have considered
putting another numeric display on the front of each bus to
say how many copies of today's Metro are aboard. |
