    so you want us to just give away trade secrets because you asked?


    OK sure..

    I ask teddy bear factories and glass blowers. They always have tons of computers.

    No I'm not asking for trade secrets at all. I apologize if it came off that way. I am saying that where I am there is little to no competition. I am not asking for names and addresses so I can talk to your clients. I was asking for the types of businesses that you are having luck with, And gave personal examples of what we are having luck with. Again I'm not trying to infringe upon your business in anyway shape or form.

    Thank you. And I know that every house and business has computers, We are already established in our area and process several tons of e-waste a week. But like every business I was attempting to start a conversation about what business types have you guys had the most luck with. I tend to check the business forum when I have time. But thanks again for the information, and again I want to apologize for the misconception of the intentions of this post.

    Dont apologize Remington.. You asked a question that is 100% legitimate and worth asking. I always guide my customers on how to increase their business because if they get more I get more and the most basic tenement of the scrap business is volume. Secondly I took alot of free advice from the moment I started in this business 20 years ago and am still taking it today.If someone gives you a gift for free I dont think you should sell it if you decide not to use it..Feel free to PM me and ill guide you through a simple plan of attack that will work.
