    A little over whelmed with E waste

    I normally don't get much Ewaste PC here or there but today my neighbor comes home with all this in his truck: laptop, PC towers, PC power supplies, laptop batteries, Router switches, docking stations, old copier (to out sometimes and it's on the trailer for the scrap yard in the morning), tons of cables and some special toner cartridges.

    Nice!

    I see a big ol'copier/printer. Lots of power supplies for PC's, an what I think is a fax/copier? Black thing in last pic. Also looks like some kind of tower in the third pic I think it was..flat an white. An are those ink cartridges fresh or used? If used you can turn them into staples/office max/etc or use one of those sites.

    I'll be up your way next week for a trip to Busch Gardens if you desire a crash course in e-waste. I'm cheap. A 6 pack of something makes me happy. Ha ha! Pepsi, beer, coke, beer..I'm easy.

    Need any help with identifying any of it, I'm not far. Cheap phone call! Ha!

    No fax machine. I did gut the copier before loading it. All the ink cartridges are new and looking on eBay are going for 75.00+. Going to try and sell that stuff and just breakdown everything else. Thanks for the crash course offer. But I would rather go to BG. The load this morning was 960# and I think 200 was that copier.

    Just an update. I made my first sale on Ebay this week the 4 ink cartridges in the last photo sold for $152.50 and I have 13 more sets to sell. This has to be my biggest windfall from someone just tossing stuff.
