    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    It's happening here. Our town stopped taking electronics (Of any kind) at the end of January, and we had two yards. One closed.

    I've been hauling out of state, though. The only local yard left doesn't take electronics as shred.

    I'm putting all of my effort on the more-than-scrap side of things. When prices rebound, so will I. I'm not leaving it behind. But, I'm not going to invest a lot of money when prices are down.

    I think a lot of others are doing the same.

    I am really liking the steel downturn myself. I can purchase appliance and electronics on the cheap now.
