    Nice little pick-up today

    Had a nice little pick-up today. Ended up with 4 laptops, 19 towers, and 380lbs of mixed boards. Pleasantly surprised at the amount of high grade mixed in this time. Hopefully the pics will upload.

    Went in by the owner and asked what he did with his boards. They throw them all in a big barrel cause it is to costly to train his guys how to separate. He was having problems with the other guy showing up and paying, so I pay him every time on the spot.

    Computer shop owner?

    Yea, I had the same problem with some of my guys. I just do it all myself while they do the service things.

    I'm debating on hitting up other shops here on the Island to see what they do with their scrap. Unfortunately, here, most of the computer shops are very very competitive instead of looking at each other like an asset.

    Not a computer shop. It is a company that picks up all the waste from a township. Usually get this every 6 months.
