    A newb's progress

    So I figured I'd start keeping a log of sorts on here to track my progress in this new "hobby". After around 20 days or so of getting into ewaste this is what Ive gotten so far:
    9 cable boxes
    1 modem
    1 playstation 2
    1 alarm clock
    4 comp towers
    10 lbs low yield wire
    3 additional hard drives whole.

    I've payed $31 dollars for scrap so far and reclaimed $10.50 from some wire/shred/al cans (My first trip to the yard!). I overpayed on the cable boxes but I learned a cheap lesson.

    Things I haven't broken down yet:
    1 power supply
    1 cable box with inverted torx bolt (I opened one with brute force but it was a lot of work!)
    1 tower
    1 hard drive (besides board).

    Things I need to figure out what to do with:
    Low grade boards
    Power supply boards
    HD platters (need secure data destruction)
    PLASTIC (I need to find somewhere in my city that will take this type of plastic as I don't want it in the garbage).



    I'll post pictures and weights once I get it all broken down.
