    Thats the way it is around here. No local board buyers so noone cares. I see all the time whole towers in the shred pile with only the alum heat sink and the wires removed. If you explane it, they dont want to pay for shipping. So now those $14.75/lb ram cards go for .07 shred price. It also goes for advice given for simple scrap items.

    One guy at the shred pile threw out a dryer. i told him that the control panel face was alum. He said the same thing. "I dont have time for that."

    Saw the same guy again, this time a washer, I said you should take out that wiring in the washer. Said it again, "no time for that." So i ripped out the wiring infront of him and cut the cord off.

    Saw him at the the yard a 3rd time and he was taking mufflers from the shred pile. I said you found some cats? he said boo ya. what an idoit this guy



    Some people are just stubborn when given advice, i know i once was
