    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I don't know where you're at in Montana, the only places that deal with E-Waste in the state that I know of are in Billings. I won't deal with any of them. Maybe there's a better option somewhere, but I'm not in Montana very often.

    For boxes, keep it under (but close to) 70 lbs if shipping to E-Wasted via FedEx. The rates will be cheapest. He'll buy most computer parts. You'll want to ask him about ECMs though. Sort everything, and he'll take care of the rest. Tape or rubber band your RAM together, and group motherboards by socket size and number (Most boards only have 1 socket, but the dual socket ones are worth more). After that, figure out the per pound payout, and the cost to ship (It should be about $0.40-$0.50 per pound to ship), depending on weight, dimensions, and your location.

    If you run into something that stumps you, feel free to ask. We're always ready to help!
