    Nice little ewaste load pickup

    Ended up picking up a load from a motel. First load included

    3 Dell servers
    7 computers w/ keyboards
    20 room phones
    1 printer
    A few small misc electronics



    Best part is that I have to go back today to get another load

    Picked up the second load today. It included another server, 3 printers, 7 vacuums, 2 satellite receivers, a laptop, 3 cell phones, and 3 bags of small items. In the bags, I have already found a few working items to resell: GPS unit, a couple USB hubs, and a radar detector.

    Just got a box of boards ready to ship out from the stuff. Roughly 40 Lbs. of boards. A total of a little over 1 Lbs. of RAM plus 21 Hard Drives (1.7 Lbs. of boards), 3 server motherboards, 7 motherboards, etc. Will be interesting to see how much I will get.

    The best part is, all this was pretty much free. It cost me about $12 in gas and roughly 100 Lbs. of steel I gave back to the place. It will cost me another $5 for disposal cost to gt rid of the junk.

    Neat little trick when dealing with recycling centers. I break them down, I get the boards, they get the metal. That way, no money exchanges hands.
