I just got into scrapping about a month ago, and Ive had a blast dismantling tvs, computers, anything electronic. I think electronics would be best for me right now because i only have a small car. Ive got a pretty good idea of whats worth my time to break down/seperate, only problem im having is getting e-waste. I have been curb shopping mostly, and ive found several crt tvs and a few other appliances. I posted an ad on craigslist offering free pickup of unwanted electronics, and so far ive gotten 2-3 emails, but mostly tvs and 1 computer monitor >.<. Im working on setting up a time with them to come pick them up, and i plan on leaving business cards with them so they can refer me. Also today i stopped by a computer repair shop near me and had a look in the dumpster, and found 2 crt monitors. I feel like the professional thing to do would be to print out some business cards, go into the shop and talk to the owner about putting his e-waste to the side and letting me pick it up from him. Any tips on how i should go about this? Or should i just keep raiding the dumpster? lol
Thanks
Chris
