    Cool Long drawn-out THANK YOU!

    Mechanic - wanted to say this is all new to me (e-waste). Been doing metals for awhile now, mainly the (reds) copper and brass. I have owned a landscape/property management company for years (21). We do a lot of design/build, irrigation and maintenance work. Started trying to lower clients dumpster fees, by resorting dumpsters and recycling what we can. This lowers clients dump/tip fees and I get percentage of dumpster cost savings based on quarterly savings. It's something I hope can move my company into larger complexes as well (10 to 20 dumpsters sites only). We are finding a lot of e-waste and electrical type of equipment. So far wire (copper) and connector (brass) is what we sell to scrap yards. Just started doing tin, steel, stainless and aluminum. Next will be boards (PCB), so just starting the sorting process. I find all SMF post useful, but yours have been the most (like the pictures) and you have the patience new-bee's like me need. Long drawn out way , just wanted to say thank you and that your time/efforts are appreciated! Dumpsters have open my eyes and put money in the bank. The win, win is it's not going to the dump (not as much) and better for all of us (environment is a little cleaner).
