    E-Waste Collections

    Hi I'm Chris the Hat.

    We specialize in recycling/scrapping Electronic waste. We process hundreds of computers, servers, monitors , and more each day.

    We do resale , and mixed loads going out.



    We are always looking what breakdown methods are worth the labor for components, and different grades of cable, boards, etc.

    Message me if you have the perfect Operating procedure for breaking down electronics.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    Nothing is ever perfect. What works here may not work somewhere else. For example, today I hauled a load of scrap to the yard. It was a 250 mile round trip. That's just how it is out here.

    We'll need to know more about you- where you do events, what you take, travel distances, available space,.... There are so many ways to do it. I'd spend as much time with Excel as I could- run the scenerios out. You may not find what'll work the best, but you can eliminate a lot of options that won't work.

    I want to get on that wish list also, so if you are doing hundreds of computers a day why not share some of your methods with us here. Every thing is bigger in Texas maybe your story is a little bigger, seriously you come on her after two posts and want us to give you tips that have taken us years to develop. The answers are here you just have to put in a little time, and do some reading.

    100 per day is 36,500 per year......I would like to congratulate you on your success and if your processing that many I would like to know your method.........More interested in your method of acquiring that many units than how you break them down........Are you paying? Are these freebies............Any insight would be great thanks!!!!

    Don't waste your time on other electronics. Focus on crt's and printers.
    They are a gold mine!!!

    The problem is that everyone knows about them! A lot of people overlook flatbed scanners.

    Charles The Shirt

    The perfect breakdown....

    1. Loose your job, your fiance', and house all in 4 weeks

    2. Wake up with $300 to your name, a millitary background, and college degree on your moms couch at 28.

    3. Start scrapping to pay child support or go to jail for failure to pay.

    4. Build it, make mistakes, loose money, make money, develop a client list

    5. Build it, see what works, see what doesn't, loose more money.

    6. Build it, READ, READ, READ, make money, make more money

    7. Build it, bottom falls out of market, adapt and overcome make more money than before

    8. Build it, be humble, and always look for more money to Build it.

    9. Look back and realize that 3 years ago almost to the day you were broke and going no where.

    10. Prepare for the 2 week father son vacation that I AM Paying for.

    You want a tip? Build your business and do it right. Always be there 10 minutes early and do what you say you will do. Be prepared to fall hard and be prepared to pick yourself up and keep moving forward.

    I am sorry for the rant but after talking with another forum member for about an hour this morning this post hit home.

    THERE IS NO MAGIC SOLUTION FOR SUCESS IN SCRAP!
    -But it can be done I see me do it everyday.

    If you want beakdown tips...
    ARCHIVES!

    If you want business tips?
    Those are YOUR responsibility to learn and they are not cheap.

    With that said....welcome to the forum and good luck!
