Ill bring my ideas to the table I have some good ones but no capital and or time to do them.

A international or cab over truck with a paper and harddrive shredder would be sweet. I know a few places that pay big money and demand physical distruction on site and even get a cd or file attachment of a camera installed in the machine showing each hd get placed in truck and inside being destoyed. Not hard to set up any of us could do it.

Killing it with a magnetic field is fairly easy. You would want to use ac and vary the frequency up down or vise versa. Google it you could easily make this in a weekend at home if you scrap.

Drilling a few holes and smashing ic chips will work to most customers satisfaction. Maybe a business with a few different levels. One we take whole unit for free then process and sell ewaste or just harddrive and paper simple distruction physically or more money you degausse it and then shred and give waste back lol or keep. Like 25 a hard drive. or more. I talked to a guy who works for somone and asked why dont you take the ewaste too. They said all his trucks are so full and busy each day they cant keep up with the demand to charge a large fee and destroy hd.

If your truck cost 20k to set up and you kill 100 hd at 20 each a day in 10 business days you payed off your investment.

I got a truck can anyone pay my scrap business overhead so I can start to make other scrap like businesses that pay better.

You see scrap prices are low and since they were high a lot of big money came into scrap in last 5 years so lots of big giant overweight business models around all fighting for the last of the pickings.

This is happening in ewaste too now. You think Basel will let anyone cut corners to make profit. Profit is the business model not recycling. Its sad because places like me are getting pushed out....... then the cycle starts over.



You can still make money in niches in recycling I got one but no money. Its batteries. but you need to be at the top of the volume food chain to make the money I could make 7 years ago for fun.

I swear life as soon as you get adjusted to the new normal it changes again and your uncomfortable. Sitting at home watching the kids is seeming better each day. LOl thats a joke man our wives have hard jobs. Tomorrow Im working at my shop and my wife can come home..
