    New computer store

    Just posting an update on me and its nice to share my good luck stories with people who care. I am now handling all ewaste and recycling for the only computer store left in town. This store takes care of almost every small business in town and all residential customers who care to go to someplace better then a big box store. They are still a small shop with only 2 guys but they do awesome work. When I approached then about scrap they wanted to know what I charged they were ecstatic when I said I would pay them. So far they haven't let me pay anything for the 4 van loads I have got from them but every time I stop I try to make sure I have a case of mountain dew. Yesterday I stopped by and the boss was on the phone trying to rent a truck on a Saturday afternoon with no luck. Apparently he had some heavy network equipment to take to a business and the largest vehicle he had was a cavalier. Since I had the truck with me already I volunteered myself and the vehicle to haul it for him and ended up helping set some of it up and learned more about networks then I ever think I will need. Anyway in turn I wouldn't let him pay me either since I have gotten so much stuff already. I just got a text from him saying he will have more scrap to pick up next week and he is going to start actively collecting e waste for me as long as I make sure he doesn't have to hang on to it to long. Which will be no problem as I drive past there 5 days a week

    Great job!! When you go shooting see if you can get the spent shells, they are worth $$$.
