Recycling Drive this coming Earth Day (April 22nd, 2017)

Alright it's time to put up or shut up. I've set a lofty goal of planning the initial stages and logistics that would go into having a local recycling drive in my City. I've been doing e-waste recycling, refurbishment, etc for the past 4 years (Member since Feb 2013) and I think I've waited long enough to pull the trigger on such an event. I wanted to thank everyone who has contributed to this forum over the past 4 years and honestly helped me to figure out any question that I might have had. I stumbled onto the forum after going to the scrap yard for the first time, and feeling that I got hosed, and I did. I started reading about e-waste and the rest is honestly history. I was hooked. Over the past few years, I've continued to research and read while trying to figure out how I could make this a reality. After many short comings over the years (mostly all do to my own bad habits) I'm finally fed up and ready to give it a go. So, now that everyone is up to speed, let me say I'm not looking for a road map from anyone. I realize there are numerous posts and threads on here discussing the topic, but I wanted to really give everyone a first had experience as the day comes closer. Honestly I'm not sure I will hit the target date with what all needs to be done before hand, but I'm gonna give it my best **** shot and leave nothing on the table. If you're shooting for nothing you'll hit it everytime, so the date is set. My estimates as far as initial cost are around $750 give or take. That number includes (3) employees not including myself for 8 hrs at $15 per hour, (1) 24' box truck, (1) 16' pull behind trailer, and (2) Large storage units with dock access. One of these units would be used for storage of the items acquired from the drive, and the second would be as a processing unit/for overflow of the first unit. I also have been refinishing the basement in the house my girlfriend, kids, and myself are currently living in. I hope to have it mostly ready by the target date of April 22nd, but again this is a lofty goal considering the current condition (before and after pictures will be posted). I'm more then willing and would like feedback from what I've posted thus far (there is way more that i've written down and tried to factor in). Or if someone who has either done a recycling event in the past, and want's to share their thoughts/experiences or constructive criticism, I'm all ears. Whatever happens, I will be sure to keep the forum and this thread updated with my progress, setbacks, or thoughts. Thanks again for everyone of you who has contributed and continues to.
