    I am not a moderator or a anything like that.

    I just wanted to take a second to speak to the people who roll through here vacuuming up information and advice. That is what this forum is for!

    Please consider joining the forum. When you believe in something, be it and organization or group, it is worth your money to support it. Membership here is very inexpensive and affordable. I live in the same broke world you do. I AM NOT RICH by anyone's calculations, but I am far better off for having been a member here.

    Let me share a couple things with you. I drove out to Ohio a couple times and met a guy from there named Mario. He shared information that has made me a better ewaste scrapper and it was a wonderful experience meeting him. Seeing how his business works was nothing short of AMAZING as well as educational. Then there was simply having met just a good person. I will be seeing him again. I met a fellow up north of me named Donnie. He is a great guy and a small ewaste scrapper. We spent the better part of a day visiting and I was able to pass some things along to him I did not have time to work with. I believe we were both better for it. I met another guy that was looking to get into ewaste on the west side of the state. I shared with him about my ewaste operation and the he shared with me about metal recycling. He totally changed how I recycle my metal and cut it up. I share this site with a guy that was doing ewaste not even 10 miles from me. Through that we have become very good friends.



    Some of what I have learned here is what I was doing that was taking me in the totally wrong direction. Because of the mistakes some others made, I was not forced to go through the same thing.

    This forum has been a life changing resource for me.

    I would urge you to become a member if you have not done so yet. Running this type of site is not cheap! Believe me when I tell you that your membership is important to me as a fellow member. I want this site up and running for a long time to come. I would like for my Grandkids to be able to come here for information when I step back and let them run things.

    Please support the things you believe in. I, as a simple member will be grateful as will many other members I am sure.

    Somehow they have managed to keep this affordable. Could you imagine what a book would cost with this amount of information in it?

    Please support the forum, we need you as much as you need us.

    This is just my 2 cents.
    There may a million better places to live than Iowa, but none of them are home!
