    Sweet Load Picked up Yesterday

    Well we had a pickup yesterday at a computer repair shop that we have dealt with in the past...He was moving to a new location and found a lot of stuff that he needed to get rid of....We had to meet the owner at his storage unit and when we arrived he started handing us sealed boxes, one right after another. The entire load was sealed up so I could barely control myself on the hour long drive home.

    When we finally got back to the shop I started cutting open the boxes and they were full of motherboards, with ram and processors still attached...I kept digging and found a whole box of wire, another large box of aluminum heat sinks, and then I opened a box with a vintage Compaq laptop, a broken iPod and several cell phones....Most of those items will be hitting the auction block this week.

    Anyway, I am still not done, only about half way through the load and it just keeps getting better.

    Wow that's a great find. I'm advertising around to my local businesses that we recycle...hopefully I'll get a basement full of stuff as well!
