Hi Everyone. I'm Ken and I live north of Milwaukee. I stumbled across this forum after selling a few scrap cans about 2 weeks ago. While I was at the yard, I saw all of this stuff that folks were recycling. A light bulb went off in my head! I came home and started collecting all of the stuff around my house that I just have lying around...I'll take it in this week. then, I just happened to take the trash to the dumpster at work and low and behold I found some stuff there I could recycle.
I'm reading as much as I can here. Thanks to everyone that has put so much information up on this forum. I know I have a lot to learn and I know that I will make mistakes. However, this looks and feels as if could be very addictive!! My biggest obstacle? Keeping my wife happy so I don't have to many piles of recyclable scrap laying around for too long.
Oh, and I found the info on e-scrap. Low and behold I had 4 old laptops and two old tower computers in my basement. I've almost totally broken them down and I will be selling them soon (I hope) to get an idea of what my return for my time investment is.
Yes, I'm new and I realize that most newbies are excited at first and then burn out quickly....I think I have the bug tho'....I'm already looking for scrap as I drive along the road. I could see this being a nice little family business. One that takes a lot of hard work and commitment, but one we could do as a family.
Thanks again for sharing all of the information!
Ken
