    "That way, someone learning the ropes could read it and wouldn't have to comb through the threads (like I did over the course of 2 weeks)."


    I disagree.



    I see it as "sweat equity".

    You have invested two weeks of your time into gaining knowledge.....why would you want to just hand it over to your neighbor, formatted so that in a half hour he can go from not knowing the difference between RAM and CPU to successfully pursuing the same ewaste streams as you?

    You will soon learn that the less your family, friends, and associates know about the value of ewaste, the better. By all means, let the world know that you recycle computers and appreciate any that come your way......but treat your newfound knowledge as the investment of your time that it is and avoid just giving it away to those who might otherwise not be very serious about entering the industry.

    That all being said, I appreciate your desire to aide the community and know that you have a charitable heart. Good luck in all of your scrap ventures and adventures!
