    Finally got a local Curbco guy to sell ewaste

    I don't know how many guys I have handed out my card to at the yard, at a gas station, at a light or wherever I saw scrap hanging out of the truck. I got one guy to call me and bought processors off of him. It wasn't much but a month later he called me again and I went to his house to buy a small lot of ewaste. He was blown away. I did drive over to his place. Though I don't think he understands what he has and his eight year old boy was asking all the right questions.

    I matched a lot of the local ewaste recycler prices and other items I payed a bit more for. He really is struggling and doing the best he can with what he has. I didn't answer really any questions and separated everything by myself.
