    Car Dealer In Connecticut taking E waste

    I saw an ad on TV of a car dealer in CT taking ewaste, TV, computers, etc... The people were lined up before they opened. It was a one day promo thing. It's funny seeing people so happy to get rid of it and everyone on here trying to find it. Anyone ever put a location to drop stuff and see what happens?


    I rent at a commercial building with lot of parking. I have a f350 Rack body dump that I put scrap in. Every couple of days there is more scrap in it and I never know where it comes from. I don't complain thou.

    That was a win-win promo for the car lot. They had someone who could take away the ewaste for them (a company) and they brought an untold number of potential customers onto their lot to at least get a look at their cars. If your landlord would not mind you could try a 1 day drop-off at your location with a nice sign out front beforehand. You better have all your ducks in a row before hand so if anyone comes around asking questions you can tell them exactly where everything is going so it doesn't end up in the landfill. It's just like Goodwill taking all that electronic stuff, they have a national company that is paying them like $.02-.03 lb for all their electronics. Their bringing in new customers (potential) and getting good advertising for it (even here) and maybe even a grant from the government for the recycling part.
