Q: Why are there people at subway stations in the morning collecting newspapers?
Yeah I know it's probably a stupid question with a simple answer, but why? I see them at every subway platform across Beijing on my way to work in the morning. Are they collectively gathering these newspapers in an elaborate attempt to break various Guinness World Records and build the biggest ever paper house/plane/castle?

they sell the paper for recycling. probably not many jiao per kilo of paper. it is for the same reason you will see people gathering plastic bottles
