    This is a question of scale and priorities: I don't deal with large volumes of towers and I don't have a truck. I have a family minivan which I use to carry my escrap (and my family, although not at the same time usually but for the amount of $ I would get for those cases I prefer someone to come pick them up for free. I also would have to take time off my daytime job to take scrap to a yard. It's OK if I have a minivan full of boards or copper but not steel cases. Plus the steel guy sometimes brings me computers in exchange.
