Need some advice on making a deal

I went to the local town dump yesterday to drop off some hard plastic (Free for recycling!), mostly stuff from junk removals and a few printer shells. Now, this dump takes eWaste for free and they had a bunch of computers and such stacked up as well as a whole pallet of lead-acid batteries. My mouth began to water so I stopped in to the office and asked if they would sell some stuff I saw that I liked. Flat out, NO! They just don’t want to start dealing with that so they make a blanket rule for everyone that once it’s in there, it stays.
Now I know they probably sell the eWaste and get paid by the pound for it, and likely the batteries too. So how I do I convince them to let me buy the stuff? This is a town-run dump and the manager/boss/supervisor/head honcho/whatever already nixed me. Who’s next up the ladder? I know I could probably beat whatever they’re getting paid. I just need to catch the right ear. Thoughts?

With out knowing? Are you a company with all the licenses and workmans insurance?
