It's no wonder the EPA contacted me over E-Scrap handling and what my process is. Was on scrap monster browsing the news and came across this article: Recycler Abandons Millions of Pounds of E-Waste apparently companies are abandoning their buildings or shutting down indefinitly for one reason or another. I'd say the E-Scrap market's becoming a hot mess and fast.
The worst thing is that sometimes the people who sent them the stuff are the ones who have to pay to clean it up.
Happened to a few transfer stations in NH about ten years ago.

Funny thing for me is I used to purchase there computer scrap and when the Canadian company was purchasing CRT's I told the owner to ship his CRT's obviously he didnt listen.. What a shame it ended that way

I knew a bit about Stone Castle. I always suspected something, but never this bad.
What a shame.

Wish I could get in there and help clean up but that's above my pay grade.

Dang.. Here is a "smart idea" Lose your arse.. set all 3 of your facilities on fire and then say "What? What dumb luck that all of my locations caught on fire!!" Pollute the environment and vanish!
This is as bad as a thief breaking into some place and stealing scrap in my book.
A Shame!
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

Here's a more detailed article: Stone Castle Recycling in trouble in all three locations
What a disgrace to all of us. This makes the Tatooine issues in Cheyenne look small.

the heck o.O even if the EPA never contacted me I still wouldn'tve done what they did - that's just wrong on so many levels. I would've attempted to melt the glass down at least and not toss it into the landfill.
Apparently that's what that idiot tryed to do, by setting the place on fire.Originally Posted by logansryche
Just more proof, that people that get into ewaste need to do the research.

I doubt that, I think he knew everything was about to come down and had the buildings set on fire in an attempt to take blame off him(that never works).
