Close of computer monitors\u003cbr/\u003e35. Close of used radio set\u003cbr/\u003e36. Wide of junk mall\u003cbr/\u003eOne man's junk is another man's fortune.\u003cbr/\u003eNow a junk collector in Indonesia claims to be making up to USD $10,000 a month recycling other people's unwanted electronics. \u003cbr/\u003eThis shopping centre on the outskirts of the Indonesian capital Jakarta is filled with what many people would consider junk.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are rows of old computer monitors, DVD players, video players and even old CRT (cathode ray tube) television sets. \u003cbr/\u003eSome of the old electricals hang from the ceiling due to lack of space.\u003cbr/\u003eBut they will not go to waste here and bargain hunters know this is the best place in town to do a deal. For example, an old radio is less than USD $2 and a working 21-inch television set goes for around USD $25.\u003cbr/\u003eMost of the items in the junk mall are sold in the condition they're found in and each sale is typically non-refundable. Only a few items, such as television sets and computer monitors, are repaired before being sold to customers.\u003cbr/\u003eThe owner Nurcholis Agi has always had a passion for electronics and worked as an electronic repairman for seven years before he began collecting used household goods.\u003cbr/\u003eEventually he opened the junk mall in 2009, the first of its kind in the area.\u003cbr/\u003eNurcholis says he gathers his precious junk from a wide variety of sources.\u003cbr/\u003e\"People who are moving house, people who tear down their houses, government agencies, schools, offices and buildings,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eBut this is more than a hobby, in fact Nurcholis claims he can make up to USD $10,000 in a good month.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd the reputation of the junk mall has travelled far. It now has loyal customers all over the country, and has even spread to the far-flung islands of Sulawesi and the Moluccas.\u003cbr/\u003eSo what's driving the customers to the junk mall? Office worker Irwan has been to the mall a few times after hearing about it from friends. \u003cbr/\u003e\"They say I should come here if I'm looking for something rare that I wouldn't find elsewhere,\" he says. \u003cbr/\u003eIrwan came to the mall looking for an LCD screen for his laptop and found one for just USD $3. \u003cbr/\u003eUniversity student Hidio Al Muhammad is a regular who has been coming to the mall for the last two years.\u003cbr/\u003eHidio often buys his electronics the mall, takes it apart and uses the electronic components for his research work.\u003cbr/\u003eHidio is aware of some of the toxic substances that could be leaking out from old electronic products, but he says that they would be far more dangerous piling up on the streets than being put to good use at the mall.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Electronic products, especially those using tubes, can leak out mercury. But because they are taken to this recycling centre, I hope it will be safer than if they had been left outside as trash. In this place we can reuse these items,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eThrough his work, Nurcholis often makes house calls to reach out to residents who have old electronics waiting to throw away.\u003cbr/\u003eHe checks the condition of all the items and negotiates the price with the owner.\u003cbr/\u003eIf he has a deal, he comes back the next day, pays in cash and leaves with the goods.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Indonesian Ministry of Environment has welcomed the initiative of people like Nurcholis and his junk mall as an alternative means of electronic recycling.\u003cbr/\u003eOld CRT television sets, mobile phones and air conditioning units are on the top of the government's watch list for highly toxic components.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Masnellyarti Hilman, who leads the unit handling hazardous waste at the ministry, argues the government needs to register these third-party recycling centres and make sure that they comply with the regulations.  \u003cbr/\u003eHe says the government is in the middle of drafting a new ministerial decree on hazardous waste which regulates who will be allowed to take part in electronic waste recycling.\u003cbr/\u003eThe decree will have a section on extended producer responsibility, whereby electronic companies must also take part in recycling their own products. \u003cbr/\u003eHilman says: \"Electronic waste can be directly processed by third parties such as in the collection centre in Depok, but these places need to apply for an official permit to take in electronic waste. After that, we can announce to the public designated places where they can drop off their unused electronic items. \"\u003cbr/\u003eFor Nurcholis, electronic waste is more than just junk. It is a way to make an honest living for him and his three employees at the mall. \u003cbr/\u003eHe is also looking for an investor to help him expand his junk
