I'm tired of hearing about what's coming, too. That was the main intent of my post..."let's just get on with it". Do we have another member who has been in the
e-waste business even half as long as he has? Do we have another member who knows most respectable buyers, processors and smelters in the USA... BY NAME (usually first name !). If you think he comes on too strong, too wordy or something about his posts have made you judge him one way or another...of course it is your right to ignore him. We all learned something from you...thank you. We could have all ignored dumbD !!
I don't believe rbrooks or anyone else has been in the e-waste biz. for 30 years. An excerpt:
E-waste recycling has been around, internationally speaking, since 1991, when Switzerland and some European countries started passing initiatives. In California, they passed the landmark SB 20 law in 2003. That law just got enacted January 1, 2005. So e-waste as we know it in the United States is a growing trend that has been around only since 2003, and operating since 2005.

I do, however, have big respect for you and what you have to say.

And you are well within your rights to read and respect him and his comments. I have no problem with that. And you're right. We could have ignored DumbD. I for one will be if and when he is allowed back. Love ya, Dee!
