New oppurtunity

Spoke with a friend of mine at my daughters basketball practice tonight. He does maintenance for a rehab facility in a neighboring town. I told him I would be interested in any ewaste they may have. He told me it wasn't often or much, but he would give me a call if anything came up. Then he brought up that his wife runs a social service type thrift store for a church and said sometimes she has problems getting the man who normally picks up their ewaste to get a load when she has one. I told him that if she ever has a load he won't pick up to give me a call and that I would never refuse to pick one up. May turn out that I only get a few calls here or there, but could turn into I get all their calls. I just excited about the opportunity and it also has gotten me to thinking about who else I may know that I need to talk to as well.

Thrift stores are awesome Hilo. You can find some past threads on them, from myself, Auminer, an many others( No offense, I can't remember everyone!).

Good luck with it, an shame on the guy who's supposed to do it, if he can't step up, yoink that account!

Sirscrapalot - Loves him some thrift stores.

Good point Tski. Word of mouth is some of the best advertisement you can get. An it's free!

Sirscrapalot - Missing the quotes at the top of the forum..you make me sad admin..sad I tell you!

HiLo - Offering to pick up stuff when others won't is how I took over an account with a township near me. They would always pay over a thousand to get rid the e-waste themselves when the other guy would come and pick up what he wanted and left the rest. When a guy emailed me about what I take, I told him I would take everything. So now, whenever I go to pick up, I take all the real good stuff and then keep loading until I am full. Takes me a few trips to get everything from one clean-out, but it all pays out in the end.
