    Arsenic in electronics, printers, etc

    There is no arsenic in consumer electronics of any kind sold in the united states. Has not been since the 70s. However the wipes and drum liner in laser printers is asbestos.

    WI ITAD LLC, IT Liquidation Services, we remarket, buy and sell scrap electronics No customer too large or small!

    So you are calling me a liar? Do I have to make a copy of the letter my yard received and which *I* have to abide by when buying scrap from customers? I cannot willingly take these items now. I also have to check the pile before it goes into the roll off.

    I'm not a stupid person but your replies sure try to make me feel like one.

    if we all have to abide by scrap yard laws why are you making fun of one that has now crossed my desk? And quite possibly other yards desks?

    Scrap a lawn mower? Sure, but make sure the fluids are out! Correct?

    Scrap a fridge? Sure, just make sure the freon is out! Correct?

    Now, scrap a copier? Uh, no, can't take those any longer. I'm being taken to task why? Well I might as well take those mowers and fridges and AC units with freon too right? Excuse me for posting about something that might affect other scrappers and which I was just queering other scrappers about.

    Good grief.
