    please do help me

    Hi,
    I am planning to start a business on recycling E-waste.But I don't have any previous experience and I am worried about this reason.What are the steps we should take before starting this business? I found certain informative layouts from Gorilla Bins about how to start an E-waste recycling business. Do you guys have any previous experience with them?

    Read read read all the archives on SMF.
    Gain practical knowledge buy actually scrapping everything thing you can get your hands on without paying for any item.
    Then read the archives again and again.
    Starting a recycling business is the same as any other business. Regulations are governed by state and local governments.

    My best advice would be to have a well organized area , everything having a place or a purpose . also before you start have a procedure inline for anything that comes in . Doing this will save you a ton of time in the long run . Good luck and welcome to the forum .

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Yes. The first thing you need to do is buy from whatever source you can find as much ewaste as you can afford. Pick off every bit of technology you can and separate it into labeled bins. Purchase membership to the ScrapMetalForum and use the advertising liks to sell to ScrapMetalForum businesses who advertise on the furum.. (support our community!). Sit back and enjoy adult beverages as the cha-ching rolls in... wear sunglasses!

    ummm...gorilla bins is a "moving" company that provides bins (like the plastic ones from the grocery store) for you to fill and then move...ZERO on that page to do with telling you how to do ANY business.....

    Secondly, "I found certain informative layouts", sounds VERY stilted or from a translator.....just saying.

    If you are pimping some business, then just stop now...it will not go anywhere on here and just will get you removed.
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    I know I looked it up, right after I read the post.

    Plug or no, the info on Gerilluh Binnz was not more helpful than your average blog post about getting noobs to sell crap for MADD CA$$$H.
