Looking for a e-scrap buyer in Georgia....with no luck so far

If the buyers in your don't want to deal with "small" sellers look into being a buyer yourself(this was suggested earlier by others). I, like many on the forum, buy ewaste from other scrapers. Many of my "pickers"I met while at the scrap yard and then asked them to pass on my card to others. This has taken me from very small to just small time.

Best of luck, Mike.

Mike thanks so much! I'll ask the yard I go to if they take them, because they do accept certain things from individuals.

That's really a great idea about going into buying scrap...I'll have to toss that idea around a bit in my head.

Thank you!

That's an idea.... That's who I sell my high-grade boards to now... Nice!

Any luck on finding someone? I'm interested as well
