Any ideas on what to do with this stuff? Its plastic from printers, vcrs, cd players etc. And why is the plastic classified as trash and not
e-waste? Thanks
they call it trash because there is little worth in it. But for the most part its ABS plastic.
The reason why they wont take it as e-waste is because hmm...you took all the good stuff? There is nothing left for them to use/make money on.
If a company called me an asked me to haul 50crt screens...I will charge them...but if they ask me to haul the same screens but they are giving me the 50 computer units as well an some other times...I will take the crt screens an may even pay for them (if they are on a pallet and wrapped up as they should be).
