Got a nice truckload of E-scrap today

There’s nothing that says that they have to be complete. It is part of Staples sustainability program. It makes them look better and it probably a decent tax write off.



I have gotten rid of 7 CRT monitors a day for 2 stores a day for about a week and had no questions asked before.

The policy states that the store manager can take more on a case by case basis. That has helped with things such as a bag full of mice with cords cut off or speakers.

I guess technically, yea, it doesnt say on their website they have to be complete..... but at least for my first load to them, I will take 7 (or maybe just 1) complete to feel it out. If the guy is like "yea just throw them in the giant e-waste dumpster out back", then yea I can probably bring whatever quantity in whatever state of disrepair... if he looks at everything and is skeptical if he can even take them, then I would probably have less luck bringing them torn apart. But I will probably go soon and report back how it went. I'll also have the website up on the phone in-case the manager goes "we dont take those".

Yeah, It is a very weird thing to deal with. Depends on each store on if they want phone number for rewards of just want them dropped.
