    OK.... I had to watch your video 4 times to see if I could get the vibe that Scrappah was picking up. At first view I felt that it was a kind of knock against another option of getting rid of a computer- donate VS e-cycle so I could kinda
    understand what Scrappah meant about the competition ( another way to get rid of a computer other than using your URBANRECYCLING service). In that way you (URBANRECYCLING) may not ever see it- so in reality they may be taking some business from you no ?
    In the video you are placing doubt and maybe a little guilt into the minds of the donor to try and get them to use your service instead of donating it ? Doubt - that the person donating does not really know what's happening to the computer after they donate it or the hard drive either . And guilt in that its probably going to a third world country to be cooked over an open fire for its precious metals. ( NOT GREEN recycling)
    FYI- I am one of the the guys that purchases or takes away for free the electronics that these organizations deem unfit to be refurbished. I DO NOT send them over seas. They are in fact fully recycled by my organization using most of the same methods that you use and I have R2/RIOS partners downstream also. Don't get me wrong , I like the video , it will definitely help to do what it was intended to do and wish it was mine , but I'm calling it like I see it--- a good marketing tool meant to steer business your way.

    No air conditioning but to be fair there is no heat in the winter either

    Nope Nope.. you can't have him.. He goes with the state.. You threw the awesome scrapper out with the bath water. Sorry Sandy.. Can't have cake and eat it too.

    And yes.. Sorry Urban.. We have sent your thread off a Thelma and Louise cliff.
