    Hello from Wisconsin!

    Hello from Wisconsin! I'm just getting into e-waste and trying to figure out the best way to get it. Do you post on craigslist in the wanted section, or go around to local businesses asking for their old electronics?

    i get all mine thru multiple sources, the morning run on trash day, craigslist wanted ads and the local scrappers i have done business with in the past, friends and family always a good source too, always hand out a business card when you pick up or buy scrap from somone because one day in the future you will get that call out of the blue. And welcome to the site.

    Also what i do is wait until a garage or moving sale has ended then go thru the stuff they set out on the curb. Found some really good free stuff that way.
