Enough is Enough With the Local Scrap Yards!

On that note about local yards, this was the first time I actually saw a collection area of computer and/or circuit boards. I hadn't previously noticed that they too buy this commodity. But $0.08 per pound??? That just kinda blew me away for some reason. Maybe i'm wrong but I just somehow thought that there was a greater value with ewaste.
(I am assuming that circuit boards are generally what ewaste is considered to be? Very new to scraping here).

They dropped their prices on ewaste down to $0.035/lb last week. The funny thing is Pacific Steel currently has the highest prices for ewaste in the city. They even beat the certified ewaste recycling company by a whopping 3.5 cents per pound.

Definitely a good opportunity. I am for sure planning to jump into the market in the next few months.

You need to talk to the right person. They still list prices on a subscription service that I have. Prices are for LARGE quantities. They are not bad. Contact info that I saw was at the Nampa, Idaho location.
