new member (from Canada,hey oh!)

Hi,

My name is Alexandre and i've just started scraping. I was scraping electronic at my teenage years so I've learned few things at this age and a lot also on the web in last months. I hate working for few pennies an hour so I don't break down a lot of things except few things like ac units,big transformers and e-waste (computers,dvr,routeur,etc). I am a green recycler and I believe that, US (all scrapers) can make a big difference for the future world!! I recover coolant (refrigerant), i don't make something that can harm my wealth or others, i don't burn wires, i send empty paint gallons to the right places, I sell most working items instead of scraping it, etc!

1 year ago,I have a full time job and I was collecting,fixing,buying and selling pallets at part time . I made an extension to my activities (because I am leaving my full time job soon) : buying/selling/sortings/collecting e-waste and non-ferrous scrap. I have accumulated few gaylord boxes of cleaned stuff (mostly boards) in the last 3 months. I have few customers that provice me bulk stuff (electronic shops, factories, contractors, street scrapers).

I am from St-jean-sur-richelieu from Canada and looking for a good buyer that give me good prices for my ewaste. Even if i am 1400 KM away from Ohio, I look at Boardsort/Cashforcomputer/ohiodropff and it worth the time to make commercial invoices and custom docs to deliver (by myself) in USA if pricing is good!! Basically, i get 2 times pricing.. So contact me if you are closer than Ohio and can give me similar pricing!

I hope i can share my knowledge to you and enjoy this forum :)

Welcome to the forum. I recommend continued use of our buyers here on the forum.

I do know other scrappers from CA. have had interest in doing business with our buyers here in the US. Perhaps you will be able to enlighten other CA scrappers on what has worked for you. Of course you may want to develope your business in to a buyer of ewaste in CA. 73, Mike

Yes i am buying 80-90% of stuff I get, I want to develope my business in to buyer of ewaste and non-ferrous. I believe that scrap yards that buy ewaste, here in Quebec, are mostly thieves!! You can get decent prices only in Toronto.

Copper - Who we are | Glencore Canada

Our Horne Smelter is a custom copper smelter, processing concentrate from the operations of Glencore and third parties. In operation since 1927, it is now the only copper smelter in Canada and plays an important role for the Canadian copper mining industry.

Horne Smelter is one of the few plants in the world that also responsibly recycles end-of-life electronics and other copper bearing materials. Its ability to process a wide range of such feeds is one of its unique features.

Welcome. I visited your area a few times when I was in the military. I enjoyed my time there, especially the weekends in Montreal.

I don't handle much ewaste. Scrapping is a sideline for me. The higher value stuff that I've managed to accumulate will probably eventually go to ebay. One member of the forum had good things to say about EDI in Orillia, Ontario. I don't think they deal with smaller amounts though - probably need gaylord quantities of computer boards to work with them. If you have significantly larger volumes, I would follow Alloy's advice and check out Glencore.
