Well said Sir.

I still have a hard time turning someone in.

If the guy was breaking open batteries and dumping the acid in a lake or something, I would understand.

An old guy not knowing...

Definitely hard to determine.

Hard to say in any board.

From what I understand, copper is king in low grade.

Just expounding on Sirscrapalot's answer...

P4s definitely.

There are at least a few different XEON CPUs, (Slot, Pinned, Pinless).

Pinned "Copper Top", (yes, the metal on top is copper) would fall into this category.

Been scrapping for a long time before it became a full time gig.

Now I'm starting a resale store inside the warehouse as a proof of concept.

Sales have kinda ebbed and flowed since I started...

What's wrong with cleaning up a mess and making some dough?

I'm never in favor of dropping the dime on somebody to the government unless there is immediate harm to someone.

I am seriously...

I'm not one to have had an easy path in life.

In the past, I've scrapped in anything with wheels.

Lots of stuff that I found in the garbage (baby strollers, wagons, bicycles, you name it).
...

As far as plastics go, it's pretty much worthless unless you have a full truck load (ie. semi trailer load, sorted, white/colors, loose in boxes) or a sea container load (sorted, white/colors,...

How much can you accumulate in say a month?

I know few brokers who may know someone near you.

Worth a shot.

Also, make sure you introduce yourself in the "Introduce Yourself" section.

I sell mine (2.8 H/T - Dual Cores) in bulk usually.

The last couple of batches I refurbished and sold.

It was way too much time and effort for the extra couple of bucks ($25-45 vs $50-75).
...

Ciao paison!

I sent an email with the same question but, in case any one else may have some;

Li-SO2 batteries (from defibrillators), do you buy them at all?

Done a lot of searching and there isn't a lot of...

I've got a couple hundred I've been putting off disassembling.

As far as my piles of stuff go, it's not too unsightly, but reading what the mylars are going for I guess I should get to them.

I wish you'd of said that from the start.

I was born in Canton and spent half my life here.

Been here and there and all around but, Canton is the place I call home.

I run the Canton City...

Apparently as a non-paid member I can't disclose prices.

PM me, anyone curious.

Why the hostility?

I am an independent contractor working under their banner as partner in the e-scrap area of the business.

I get a slightly higher return than regular "walk-in" customers on...

I think the $40 difference is worth the 10-15 minute drive.

Not to mention we have the best prices in the area (Akron/Canton/Alliance) on electronic and computer scrap.

I know the owner shops...

Hey bud, we'll give you $265 at American Recycling in Alliance.

I had a complete price list made up for electronic and computer scrap and my mouse took a poop.

Restarted and saved my work, or...

No.

Useless for ICs.

Great for transformers and aluminum heat sinks.

Like freonjoe, I want to experiment with a heat gun for shearing boards.

I've met some scumbag scrappers in my time.

I've also met some good friends on CL.

I started advertising on Craigslist again just for the hell of it yesterday.

Might bring in some extra...

I've been using a claw hammer on low grade boards as of late.

Works pretty well when there's someone beside you cleaning the material.

I certainly will.

I don't have the space to hold onto the stuff.

I get it in sporadically so I can hold on to a gaylord or so.

I'm trying to be as much of a "zero landfill" company as I...

Thank you for your legitimate response.

I'm certainly not trying to make any enemies or get anyone riled up.

I was just trying to prevent useless responses that I and others have gotten.
...

Thanks man.

I've tried that route but, as you said I don't know the buyer. Or his reputation.

Also, most of those companies are looking to refurbish DAT and other tape cartridges.

When I...

"Throw it in the shredder" is said way too often on this forum for things that either don't belong there or has value outside ripping off your local scrapyard.

As well as "toss it in the trash"....

Because I offended the snobs I am myself a snob?

EDIT: With this?




I call you as I see you.

No apologies from me.
