    Take this just for what it's worth.



    I'd make up some home made business cards (don't have to have a business to have a card with contact info) and hit up all your family and friends and everyone you see at college. There is your "goldmine" in addition to your other scrapping. Start reading here in the electronic section about breaking down ewaste. The college has a ton of it. Your truck would be perfect for hauling ewaste.

    I put an $800. load into my Taurus of ewaste going to my buyer. Can't do that with regular scrap. When you get more comfortable with the ewaste then you might think about pursuing the college itself. Every student has at least one laptop maybe a desktop and who know how many hand helds. The computer geeks (you know who they are) are constantly building or upgrading their equipment,
    And their leftovers might be going into the trash now.

    thanks mechanic688, I will for sure look into this, the problem is going to be how to obtain "stuff" from people at the college, I cannot imagine many people contacting me from a flyer that says "hey ill get rid of your old computer stuff, old cellphones, ect." there has to be an incentive for them too right??
