    Well this'll kick start my scrapping adventure!

    My uncle is the IT guy at the local university. I was talking about how I was getting into scrapping, and how I broke down my first laptop. He replies with "if you want 'em, I have some laptops, monitors, printers, routers and switches". He then told me how he's been stockpiling them to do a run to the recycling center at the dump, about 10 years worth.



    I'm stopping by to pick up my first load Tuesday.
