    Welcome to the forum Peter. We have a few UK members and perhaps they could chime in with possible buyers of ewaste in the EU. If there is not much of a market in the Netherlands perhaps you could be the guy who starts one.

    Also which Holland do you live in? Mike

    I am a ham radio operator and have had contact with hams from the Netherlands. I have spent a little time reading up on your country and I have noted that there are two Hollands in the Netherlands and was wondering which one you are located in. I live in North Carolina and we do have a South Carolina just like the North and South Hollands. Mike

    I see by Wikipedia that you live in a good sized city. Do some good research on any ewaste recycling in your area. I am guessing that there may be someone already involved in recycling of ewaste. If you can associate yourself with others you may be able to put together large enough loads to justify shipping. Keep in mind current prices for gold and copper which greatly affect prices.

    Remember you will still need to recycle the other material involved, steel, Aluminum, wire, plastic, etc. The entire process can be involved. Best of luck, Mike

    Welcome aboard. Lots of information on ewaste here. There is a section just dedicated to it. Nice part of the world you live in.

    Arnhem, for those that may not know, was a major battle site in WW2. The movie "A Bridge Too Far" mentions Arnhem numerous times as a major city which was supposed to be taken back from the Germans in Operation Market Garden.
