    I have seen a lot of sharing. You may want to read more of the older threads.



    I will again share some of the ways I get material to scrap. First my next door neighbor is a scrapper and sells me insulated wire and motors at the same price the local yard pays. I break them down.

    I have another scrapper who sells me computer towers and other items he doesn't process. I buy towers from a local scrap yard where I sell my metals.

    I also bid on state gov auctions for electronics. So far I have won only one auction which had 41 towers and 7 lcd monoitors.

    I have been considering contacting the many used/thrift shops in the area and try to buy their broken computers and wires.

    Thats all the secrets I have at this time, Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
