    My Update

    Got around to getting the pics off that phone, wasn't hard I'm just lazy haha

    I'll start off with how the garage is looking now:




    Show off my hoard now, mostly circuit boards and junk I haven't thrown away because I seem to have this idea in my head it must be worth something :roll:

    PCI cards, some with brackets some without

    Collection of good ol RAM :mrgreen:

    Work space

    Bucket of ic chips, flyback transformer and a few wires here

    Some low grade boards that need taken in

    Power cords to be stripped someday

    Power supplies to break down once I get some bulkier stuff moved out

    Trash mountain

    PC fans, found a buyer for $0.60/lb, in Toronto though

    Ink cartridges

    Speakers

    Random assorted junk, Including keyboard mylars, which contain silver

    Motherboards

    Now I decided I'd show what I generally get from an all in one printer/copier/fax machine. So heres the printer before scrapping:

    Now what I got from it, took individual pictures for different components

    Silver tipped ribbons

    Boards, got low grade, mid grade and high grade from it

    Cartridges, gold foils from cartridge reader, and a surprise speaker!

    Electric Motors and some insulated wire, there really isn't a whole lot in a printer, maybe $4-30 value if you sell the cartridges to easy recycle group? I think it is. I still love doing printers, literally my favorite thing to scrap, don't know why.


    Picked up this old bike from the garbage, took the front rim for my bike, then sold the back rim for $10, and still have the frame to take in for scrap in my next load!

    Found this old manual tire changer, was going to sell it on kijiji, but my uncle was interested in it, so I gave it to him, figured its a good trade since he gave me 5 computers.


    Found these moped rims in the garbage, have yet to sell them though :--?

    Thats about the end of my update, still sitting at around $400 made from scrapping this year. Got my first paycheck for the summer and it was over double that lol

    Bolt cutters and sledge hammer are great tools for separating materials!
