    Looks like they are a cooked goose.. You just don't recover from a fall like that!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    Stick a fork in them- they're done.

    I think it's a safe bet that the company closes completely, and I'm sure there will either be serious fines, imprisonment, or both. This is something that you don't do!

    So should we come together and buy the business? I'll kick in the $7.00 that I just got on a load of shred!

    I think the "end" of this company is needed, the managers of this company should be picking up trash along the roads and highways of this county for the rest of their lives! They violated their communities trust, fraudulently obtained a state contract by deceiving on how they would process the E-waste.

    It doesn't look good.

    It was saying that the lead levels on the floor of their facilities was fifty times over acceptable limits. I feel bad for the people that worked there. Not only will they be out of a job but they might have suffered lead poisoning as well.
