Newbi to e-scraping

Welcome to the forum. You have already been given the most valuable information yet. Read the old threads here and do some more research. Sweden may have some big companies that do most all the recycling but there still should be the "little guy" around. If you are just getting into e-waste and still learning, then you should start slow and steady. What it seems like you are talking about is refining the product. Start out by collecting it yourself and tear it apart. I started my e-waste business with the thought of BIG business but it only took about 6 months for me to realize that I was thinking too big and now I just find, separate, sell and start over.

Good luck to you and happy scrapping

I have not gone the "go big" aspect due to personal reasons. The "find, separate, sell" ideas have keep me happy with what I do and I'm able to pay my bills with this. I'm not one of those greedy, money hungry corporate sell-outs that has only one care in the world, and that would be how fat is my bank account. I have worked for myself for over 16 years now and have done only two different things, HVAC/R for over 13 years and recycling for the last 5 years, started recycling before closing down the HVAC/R company, and I only stopped the HVAC/R due to my partner destroyed the business and customer base and I could not revive it for myself, I will NEVER work with a partner ever again, lesson learned. As to having another job, nope. This is what I do and I'm happy with the position that I have put myself in. I have been able to work for myself, pay my bills and support my family, and I can be home for the kids when I need to. Not many can say that and mean it.
