Im in the Stockton, Sacramento area in Northern California. I have searched all over the internet and cannot find a place that purchases E waste in my area. The only things I can find are places in other areas that allow you to ship E waste to them. I have motherboards, circuit boards and things of the like and would like to get paid for them. Anyone know of any place near me that will buy this stuff?
theres places near me but they dont pay. they take it all and make you pay them.
I am in nearly the same area as you and have been searching as well. I have a pretty large load so would even be willing to drive a few hundred miles but cant find much on the West Coast at all.
I would look in Nevada, they are selling ore with as little as 1 ppm to some one over there.
I live in eastern North Carolina and ship to northern Ohio. I sell to one of the buyers from this forum, Ewasted. He can arrange to have fedex come pick up from you. I know others here offer the same option.
Take some pictures of what you have and contact one of them(buyers on this forum). With pictures and a description they will be able give you guidance. Face to face is better but sometimes you just can't. If you have any questions I can answer please pm me, Mike.
im thinking of just loading my bro's big rig when he comes by and having him drop it off on the way to his deliveries in texas.
sounds to me like you all might have a large enough load to go direct to the refinery. I would not let that pass without checking it out. or maybe the two of you in the saqme area could combine loads, this sounds like a plan to me.
I don't have a huge amount of this kinda stuff. Just some from computers and appliances that i've scrapped for copper and shred, so I just set aside the circuit boards, ram and the like. If I knew of a place to sell the stuff I would put more effort in trying to look specifically for it.Quote:

any one on the forum that screwed any one would imedeately be tarred and feathered so to speak, the couple that showed up here with spam or scam were dismissed very quickly. if I were able I would be back in sacramento in a minite to take advantage of this need in the market. actually just across the line in Nevada would be much better. Nye county nev is probably the freeist county in the U.S. any one want to open an escrap yard there ? pm me Im ready.
Old dude, I really like your idea. Finding a market need and filling it, Mike.
Definately check the buyer section at the bottom of the forum page. There are several good and reputable buyers present here. Definately check out the ones that contribute information to this forum. I will not name them at the risk of leaving someone out, but take a look at their post count and you will see how helpful they are to everyone.
Where have I heard that before?
Evergreen recycling on nsacramento street Lodi will purchase all types of e waste . Good guys
Hello Johna,
I was curious why someone would dig up an old post, revive it if you will. Specially when they only have posted 4 times and have not introduced themselves as of yet.
I am all for promoting businesses, specially for those that support this forum. So while I have a few questions, I want to make that clear and congratulate you on your support of this forum.
In my opinion however, I think there is something else going on that you are not being honest about for some reason. I want to be clear again about this. I am only expressing my own personal opinion, so if I am wrong I will apologize now, but I'm going to explain myself first.
The company you are referring to, Evergreen Recycling states this on their webpage:
There is no mention of purchasing e-waste.Quote:
* Free E-waste (TV, Computers, Stereo, etc...) drop-off location
* Free E-waste Pick-Up for clients in Lodi, CA
Also, the last time the site was updated, or anything was posted to the calendar was back in 2011, you might want to update your webpage information.
I would also like to ask what exactly your ecollective is, if it's the standard collective business model I would be interested in how exactly you are operating.
Now to why I believe you are involved with this computer in some capacity, either an owner or an employee, or someone else directly associated with it.

Which makes it sound like you are in this business, and looking to sell some e-scrap. Unless your question, and bumping an old thread has nothing to do with business you are trying to conduct.Quote:

If you are involved with the company you have posted about, please be honest about it. While you're at it, it might do you well to introduce yourself, not just digging up old posts like this next one, just so you can post for exposure:

There are a lot of good, hardworking and very honest people on this forum. If it wasn't me posting these questions, I'm sure it would be someone else. Honestly and integrity will get you everywhere on this forum, but if you are playing a game, this is the wrong forum.Quote:

But please, if you are involved with Evergreen in any way, be honest, don't play games, this is the first day you have posted and it's better if you are open and honest now, rather than try to repair the damage later.

I am bumping this thread on purpose.
I would like to hear from Johna:
And if I am wrong about what I have said, I would like the opportunity to correct what I have said so as to not defame.Quote:

I am also curious about the e-recycle collective and what exactly that means in a recycle business.
Scott
LOL! Slam!
Scott , go get yourself a job mate as it seems you have a lot of spate time on your hands . I didn't realize that this was an old thread as I just joined yesterday and am still finding my way around the site . With regard to the reference I made about evergreen I stand by it . They buy all types off e waste . I thought I was been held full . I thought that was the point of the forum .
My intent wasn't to offend you, and I do have time on my hand while I'm working, and choose to post during those times I am waiting for a reaction, or melting something. I didn't attack you, I simply stated what it looks like to me you are doing.Quote:

Are you involved with, employed by or associated with the company you posted about, Evergreen.
I didn't see anywhere on their website where they stated they purchase e-waste, and it hasn't been updated since 2011, so where is that information?Quote:

I am still very curious what your ecollective is.
It looks like Evergreen is operating under the California Buy Back program for CRV containers. But if they are in business with e-srcap, I very well might have some things to discuss with them, or you, if you are that person.
In any case, clarifying things would be nice, and I would appreciate it if you could do so without the sarcasm, I don't really appreciate it.
Maybe if you introduce yourself and just simply state what your business is that will be enough to clear things up.
Scott
EDITED:
Perhaps it's just better if I call the company directly, and ask them if they know you, or if you represent them in some way. Of course your name might not be your real name, but letting them know someone is representing them on this forum may encourage them to buy a membership themselves, I think that maybe they would be a good addition and might like to share and learn along with the rest of us.
EDITED:
I see what you mean by "held full" you meant helpful. It didn't make sense before, but I see what you were trying to say now. And yes, that's what I believe this forum is all about as well, being helpful, but being helpful also means sharing in the business you are in that can gain you customers, and also help them as well.
Hello fellow scrappers, havent been on here in a while so forgive me if im responding to an old forum question. I too live in san joaquin county and am desperately seeking and ewaste / crt buyer. Just for the record evergreen in lodi went under and is no longer in business. They were ok but only paid 6 cents a lb for tvs and not a lot for computer scrap. I actually clean out properties for a living and accumulate a ton of tvs and computers.
Our only options that i know of in the area are tri valley - which i will never deal with again- due to a lot of dif reasons mainly because they screw you and make you jump through so many hoops in order to sell to them its not worth my time or frustration. I keep logs on all tvs collected. I currently have a 5-10 trailer full of tvs and approx 400 lbs of motherboards, hard drives, memory, power supplies etc. Anyone have any more buyer hook ups in northern ca that are paying decent? Ill go to the bay area if neccesary , just dont have any connections.
Thanks
in advance

scrapper girl, check out the buyers forum. With that weight you can get a better deal on shipping. We have a member that brokers shipping. Don't sell until you do some research! Good luck and welcome from Maryland.
Find one of the good buyers on here and build up a pallet with your escrap (read up on whats worth shipping) and enjoy the profits.Quote:

I guess I could sell them in Reno Nevada if they buy them there. If you live in California does it make sense to go after green boards ? Where do I sell these things?
Hi there! Depends what kind of boards they are. Worse case scenario they go for tin price at a local yard so still worth getting, if just barely lol! But accumulate a good supply and even if you can't find a good buyer locally you'll be able to use the low-grade boards to basically cover the shipping costs of sending a pallet or few via freight to one of the e-waste buyers in the Midwest and get all profit off the mid- and various high-grade boards. Checks the buyers section of the forum and you'll find some highly recommend e-waste buyers who will treat you right.Quote:
