Hello Ben, welcome to SMF! First thing you need are some good leather gloves to stop those cuts, I use some good ol fencing gloves for metal. Next thing you need is a trailer for your car, there's lots of threads here with ideas for getting one from an old camper or boat trailer. Then you'll need a place to recycle all those TV and monitor tubes, and a buyer for your Ewaste. Those printers just grab the ink cartridges and look for a recycler, I seldom even grab the boards any more, they're just not worth enough for shipping, and stay in the shred pile, mixed in with tin. My staging area is kinda like your back yard, layed out like a gauntlet with a path through the middle, with a place to pile light iron, another for short iron, computers, monitors, misc. piles of stuff, etc., with most of the non-ferrous stuff closer to the workbench(the empty cabinet from an old wood, or really particle board, TV)
Yeah, we have clean-up days in most towns here too, I wasn't even aware of the last local one until 2 weeks after it(I live well out of town and don't get up there that often)
Anyways, happy scrappin man!
