As a New Yorker, for better or worse, this was interesting as I had heard about the law but was not aware of the details. I have been collecting Ewaste for over a year now and was planning to build...

I actually made a successful insurance claim on some copper that was taken from my barn. Check your homeowner's policy.

woodman- I hope he doesn't fish any of those artificial reefs made on purpose with old vehicles, boats and other junk. the authorities and divers wouldn't be pleased. Otherwise sounds like a great...

I am going for remnants of an alien space craft, an alloy unknown to humankind.
Good luck with this, and good for you finding a smart way to get by as a student. I like the idea of dropping off at a different place on the way home, I always wish I had prepared and called ahead...
Rio-I am impressed with the way you handled that job, sounds like a lot of hard work. were you able to let the panels up high just fall? Or did you have to rig them with cables and lower them?
I thought acid was used to dissolve the metals.
Wow, thats depressing. The cost of our convenience lifestyle that everyone else wants too, and why shouldnt they?. What struck me was how inefficient it must be to remove metals from circuit boards...

I was going to say moonshine still but I dont think those are really available to many of us, plus I wouldnt want to stop them!
Thats a good video, I like how you just took them as they came easy or not, just like it always is. One question, does your yard not care about the paper and tape wrapping? I always worry that they...
