    Trust me..mailing off a small box of ram...in my case untested stuff...and getting a payment of $236...yep WAY better than the butt kicking it took to find or clean up that amount of wire or brass...you just have to get enough quantity...ie some accounts to pick up 20-40 towers at a whack...or have people drop it off to you (or even partner with a business that is eco friendly and have that at a drop off point)...ie I don't pick up 1 computer, they can drop it off (no money after time and gas).

    Try it and you will stop working REALLY hard to load that amount of steel and work a bit smarter...IMO of course...I only do steel occasionally since I an going to the yard with all the tower shells anyways but I STOPPED that stuff after I saw the return on investment...ie ALOT OF WORK for relatively little reward (I have a $40-50 per hour rate on my time or I don't do it)...but everyone is different...you have to put a value on your time and what you want to make, that being the FIRST thing you do when starting to treat it like a real business....just a suggestion
