I was just offered a metric crapload of desktop PCs and printers for scrap. Couple of dumpsters filled to overflowing. The printers are fairly heavy (HP Laserjet 2200 and similar) but I know there are is a lot of plastic in them, so I'm really wondering if it's worth the trouble?

Currently, they are paying some schumck to take it away, after it has been sorted. That seems like a ripoff to me, but I'm used to scrapping cars. Are the economics of scrapping this stuff really that different compared to scrapping cars? Their current scrap guy has trouble showing up on time, and they want it out of their way.

What would SMF do?
