I live in Oregon and I would like to scavenge for some electronic components. Does anyone know somewhere where I can do this? I would prefer a free rummaging area, but anything would be nice. Please let me know if you know of someplace where I can do this.
Hmmm, not to be a dillrod but if I had some good places to pick, I wouldn't be telling a soul. Everyone's your competition.
Here's a couple of places to start reading for possible ideas.

Agree with Mechanic688. No one is going to give up their honey hole. Noodlebear has no introduction, just 1 post, basically a "I'm coming in only for you to do my research and work for me". Not good.
yeah... this is an open forum so anyone who gave you that info would be shooting themselves in the foot. We are ALL looking for free scrap right now.
I have been doing extensive research and have turned up with nothing. I was just wondering if you guys knew of anyplace interesting.Quote:

What kind of electronic components are you looking for?
Look at this link and check the prices he is paying for electronic components.

If there was a place I could rummage through free I would take it all and sell it. That is why you have turned up with nothing.
Answer the question above and we may be able to help.

No nonmagical piles either :(
There may be some CRTs somewhere, but I'd probably skip them.
The best way to get free stuff is to just ask- look into doing a collection event.

No wonder all I find when I go searching is poison ivy.

Someone should have told me all this long ago.
Let me guess, next you'll tell me there is no Easter Bunny, Boogey Man, or Big Foot.

Actually there are some piles of computers and electronics in the Oregon forests and sage brush. You just need to know where the crazy folks go to take them to the middle of nowhere and shoot them full of holes. But you can also find lead bullets in them as bonus scrap.
