Thanks

Sorry to hear that. If there is anything we can do to make the sorting process easier for your team let us know. I try to box, bag or separate the different materials , memory, finger cards, hard drives, cell phones etc... except for the mother boards ( they all go together in one box) as I trust your team better than myself to fairly sort them. As far as preparing -I think you mean removing extra plastics and metals, taping batteries terminals etc . regarding cleaning I am not sure I clean anything other than heavily dusted packed heat sinks. Is there more that we could be doing ? Please let us know, if we need to step it up , will do- currently working on another load now.

Sent some material in and was totally satisfied with the exchange. Prepping another box as we speak! Thank you!

Wow! Was not expecting that. Just sent my first load of ewaste ever, processing took longer than expected (look a couple posts above for why) just got the appraisal and was not expecting nearly that much. Can't say thank you enough to Mario and the crew at CFCs for a great experience. May be a while before I can make another load but Ewasted will be the only one getting my junk....I mean valuable stuff. Thanks again everyone!

After reading all the positive feedback on ewasted, they have just earned my business. Boardsort was where I had planned on sell my material but I am for sure going to be working with this company.

Spoke on the phone with this company & the 2 people I spoke with we very helpful as well as knowledgeable. I had been torn between boardsort but these guys really took the time to actually listen to my questions and I will be sending atleast 1 box of gold ram but more than likely I'll be sending most of my material except for my mother boards and processors. Just because I feel like I need more. Again thank you guys for your time.

I have 667 lbs of telecom boards for sale. I live in Ontario. Can e-scrap be driven across the border via towing a trailer. Or is there legal issues red tape surrounding doing this?

Do you see anythng troubling in the exerpt below.

E-Waste Recycling: what’s really going on?

Electronic equipment contains lead, mercury, cadmium fire-retardant chemicals and arsenic. These materials are a hazard to human health and to the environment. Diverting e-waste from landfills and ensuring they are properly recycled is essential to protecting our environment.

Despite the importance of e-waste recycling, it has been a controversial topic in British Columbia since 2005, when the RCMP seized over 500,000 kg of e-waste being illegally shipped to developing countries from the Port of Vancouver. The exporters were attempting to exploit low environmental and employment standards of developing countries to gain increased profit.

Beyond the ethical problems of this practice, exporting hazardous waste to non-OECDcountries is prohibited in Canada by The Export and Import of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Material Regulations (originally The Export and Import of Hazardous Waste Regulations). These Regulations were introduced in response to the United NationsBasel Convention, adopted in 1989 and amended in 1994.

Despite Canada’s regulations, exportation continued illegally, particularly in port cities like Vancouver. In at attempt to curb this illegal activity, the BC Ministry of Environment amended the Recycling Regulation in 2006 to include electronic and electrical waste. Two stewardship agencies, Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) and Western Canada Computer Industry Association (WCCIA), were approved to develop and administer recycling programs. The programs began in 2007 and included home televisions, computers, and computer peripherals.

Evidently, this is my dumb day. I do not see anything troubling in the text supplied. The U.S. is an OECD country. And I don't believe you'd be guilty of "attempting to exploit low environmental and employment standards" by bringing the material into the US. Possibly there's wording in Canada's regulations that would preclude crossing the border with material but that wording is not in the information supplied. Or is it? Maybe this is my dumbest day! Please advise!

Good luck, Mike

Which piece on there is the battery?

Today I shipped my first 2 boxes to CASHFORCOMPUTERSCRAP today. Box 1was nothing but clean mother boards, no batteries or access meta, laptop boards about three different kinds of CPU motherboard hand PlayStation 1 2 & 3 motherboard can Xbox 360 mother with the heatsink removed. Box 1 weighted just around 26.4lbs, box 1.3lbs, also the boards we separated stacked in the box. Box2 all the good stuff. Gold and silver Ram hard drive or CD ROM boards clean cell phone Byrd cell phone laptop batteries processors finger cards and a bunch of other little boards I didn't know where they came from total weight of that box 36.4lbs. Im really excited to see what I am actually going to get paid on this material because it could determine if I open at least grab business in this town I live in. In the state of Georgia we need a place to sell a waste.

Another successful shipment to CFCS. 57 lb box shipped from central NY to Ewasted. Fast turnaround and processing. Shipment was a mix of mid/high grade boards, some telecom, gold finger memory, ribbon cable and some gold connectors. Largest payout for a single box I have had yet.

Thanks Mario and crew. I love working with these guys/gals.

Ty miked!

I am down to just 3 diff piles of boards left that I am unsure of whether to ship or not. Anyone have a guess on a grade/price these would be?

1.Bunch of these kinds with the AV cable slots on the back.


2.These have the one gold insert edge... but are VERY heavy with some low grade looking material on them.


3. ???


Ty for any help!
