UPDATE: Escrap collection event
As many know from my original post about 2 months back, I believe it was, VIP Recycling was involved in a recycling event today.
Our contract was to recycle all the unwanted electronics that anyone dropped off.
To answer everyone's questions, yes we got our fair share of TV's. Roughly 15 to 20 of them. Good news is, they are all being donated to my contact at the Church that provides me with some junk removal jobs, and a load of scrap metal every month. He has a contact that takes them and sends them over seas (dont remember exactly what they do with them, but they go to a great cause).
Even though I am giving away money, I see it as building that relationship even more, and that to me is worth more than the measley $4 per tv.
The pc monitors will get processed and the remainder of the pc monitors sent to the recycling center at the landfill.
We got a good amount of printers that will be processed for the inkjet cartridges and those will be sent to this website that pays for them.
The boards and other goodies will be removed, and the remainder will be sent to the recycling center.
Then we also got a good amount of desktops and a few laptops, which of course will all get processed the traditional way.
Also, going to be hearing from a potential client for a hot tub removal for $300 to $350, depending on a few things.
Handed out a ton of business cards.
All in all a good day.
Will post a picture tomorrow of all the goodies I got. Would have done it today, but we are experiencing 100+ in the heat, and after standing in the hot sun for 5 hours, I was about to faint.
