    Around here eveerybody and their brother is scrapping. You have to be prowling constantly to score ferrous and you may occasionally get some copper - mostly in the form of power cords. I found that doing that was costing me more than I was making. Ewaste- what little of it I can get around here - is generally profitable for the amount of money I have to put into getting it.

    When I started doing e-waste - no one in my town was buying it either. I started going around to owners of computer repair shops asking to buy their ewaste. One of the owners knew the owner of a scrapyard and got him thinking about ewaste and now they buy it. You might consider approaching your local yard and showing them how you can both make money.
