    I wish i new how do do escrap there seems to be decent money in it if you know what u are doing.
    Ewaste is alot more difficult than people think........Be prepared to work 12-15 hour days............Be prepared to handle items multiple times..........be prepared for storage issues........True a living can be made at this and a decent one at that but Ewaste is not like picking up a stove and dumping it at the scrap yard...........If you don't know what you are doing you could scrap a $400 computer and not even know it...........Ewaste is a very physically taxing job as it is true that moving a 30lb computer is not hard but when multiplied by 100 it becomes a lot of work...........I feel olddude's pain but I am half his age so it is not time for me to retire yet...........
