The guy wants them removed for FREE. Doesnt want to pay anything for disposal. I called my yard, and they will not accept them, as they told me they are over 50% plastic. I called my local escrap place, and they will only pay $0.01/lb so if this was hopefully say 5,000lbs of product, that is only $50. Like I said, with guys, wear and tear, not worth it. I would be out of money.

I know there is money in the cartridges and boards, but if no one is going to pay decent prices for the printer, you wont make any money.

I make money at escrap, but this area around here, is not like the areas where you and everyone else are at. I have to deal with what is here locally. Like I said above, scrap yard wont touch them, and the local escrap guys are paying a PENNY a lb and this guy wants it done for FREE. Not worth it.

I would do, but I cant when it is just printers.

They wanted it gone for free, but as I explained above, no money in this deal.
