i went to the yard down the street from my house today to drop off 580# of shred. They dont pay quite as much as a larger one 15mins down the road, but they're a small family owned yard and literally at the end of my street. Anyways while i was unloading I noticed a worker pull a computer out of the pile and put it to the side. After i got paid, i decided to walk around a bit and check out the shred pile, and I saw tons of electronics. I saw one computer case, completely stripped except for the motherboard still in it untouched lol. also saw another that was gutted except for dvd and floppy drive. I went back in and asked the guy if they sell stuff from the yard, and explained to him i was looking for electronics. I asked about computers, and he said they tear them apart there. He pretty much said anything else was fair game, and i can buy it at .20/lb.



I have some questions as to how to go about this:

1. The 2 gutted computer cases i saw, im not sure if hed sell them to me or not, but would these be worth trying to get? Also, any suggestions as to how I can convince him to sell me at least some of their computers?

2. What if I pulled a motherboard out of the case in the yard, do you think that would fly? or would they not allow me to break stuff down in the yard?

3. What kind of items besides computers should i look for to buy? im assuming dvd players and stereos, etc. wouldnt be worth it.

4. Is .20/lb a good price?

I had some more questions but cant remember them at the moment, but any advice i can get would be awesome! Thanks guys!
