Hello from Indiana

Hi y'all

I'm Nick from Indiana, I use to scrap large items such as washers/fridges and of that type before my truck (92 F150 300cbi manual trans) got totaled so I have had to step it down a bit until I have the money to buy a trailer to pull behind my Saturn Vue (had to buy because of gas/ commute)

So now I scrap computers/Tvs/ anything that plugs in



Just wanted to say hi

Hello Saturninin! Welcome to the best scrap metal forum out there. Sorry to hear about your truck. Don't be discouraged, I've seem major hauls done out of compact cars. Being that you're limited due to vehicle space E waste would fit right up your alley and there's tons of information on how to find it, identify it, how to tear it down, sell it, and even buyers right here on this forum. Good luck to you.

haha yeah it sucks but oh well and yes I've scrapped using a Saturn SL2 :P (heck if i brought home a grill/desk and number of other things with having someone hold it while I drive haha) and yes E-scrap is right up my ally (country boy working IT ) and I all ready know most everything in regards to whats/what on a normal desktop and what to scrap/ keep and who all buys it on here and what price do they give? (I go though someone local right now)

Sorry just had to get that out.

The question I asked was about maxing my profit (clean copper VS insulated copper, I all ready cut off my gold tips and all that just hate giving copper away at insulated prices) Heck I strip off all my aluminum/ copper off my low grade boards just trying to get my max money

and seeing that you are not that far from me (and guessing you are a business P & M Recycling) can you send me a phone number to see what you are paying for various E-scrap

Thanks

I wish I had the pictures. My wife is searching for them now. I put a sidewalk in and my truck broke down. I folded down the seats, put a cardboard layer down and a couple blankets and hauled out 40 feet of 36 inch sidewalk I had broken out!!! Yes it took several trips and it was the only time I felt even remotely masculine in the **** Prius.

Welcome to the site.

I've been up to S.B. a few times buying computers. We took a big pallet load out of a factory up there last fall. I'll buy off of you but right up front, you won't get the prices you'll see from the big buyers, but you have to ship or if it's a big enough load deliver to them.
