boards

Not sure why bought thought i saw 70,000 MT... anyway that is alot of product to move without a truck doc and have one forklift and 2 storage lockers. That would still make you one of the largest board buyers in the country.

One thing they are in the uk and when you work with full trucks you dont need to being them to your door so you save time and and if you need to load and reload you can do that fairly simple. Its not always the amount of space you have but how you use it.

I'm not going to keep going back and fourth with you. You seem to know better so maybe you should go find someone who is riding around in a small car scrapping steel as they are able to do what most people do in a pick up!

Its all about how you use your time and you equipment.

Right now...I am buying (or trying) to fill a new order from a refiner for low grade motherboards...around 70tons a MONTH...you don't fill it...you can have some issues and if you would like to take my chair your more than welcome. <<

that is 4600/lbs per day. every day.

even considering the weight ratio for a 4' cube, that is over 100 cubes. to do it right, you should be shredding on site. eliminating space requirements. get down to 60 or less.

initial cost of such a project would easily exceed 100k. cap rate would be around 7%. maybe. could be less. and all of that is totally dependent on being able to sustain a feed supply of 140,000 lbs per month.

the shipping costs alone will eat a lot of the return. i want to see how you handle the costs involved in getting the material to you. there are a lot of power supply/low grade boards on the market. tons of old crt/tv boards laying around. but the cost of moving those is what the problem has always been.

this would be a really top heavy venture. your expenditure rate is far higher than your return rate. you could wind up with a 3% or lower return. if you were moving a million a month, maybe. but if you had a million a month to play with, why would you deal in low grade.

of course there is another small problem. finding a processor that can move that much material per month.

ewasted is correct. 140,000 lbs per month is beyond the capabilities of almost all of the processors currently running. it is not a big secret.

but, in the spirit of helping you get this started, i am sure we have several tons of old junk boards. what would your price be picked up at the appleton, wi. dock.

This is a highly informative thread. Hats off to the buyers!

Send me an e-mail or call me and we can talk about it. Is the scrap bailed and ready for shipping?
