    you need to post a few more times to enable messaging.

    we need pictures to answer questions about the boards

    In general, if its a board for a rack it will probably be some sort of telecom grade. If it is outdated, probably higher grade, if its newer, could be anything.

    If it is free, cancel your plans and go get it asap, if its the price you would pay for metal, get it asap. if its more than that, do some research
    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

    Then it sounds like you are more worried about it being a waste of time.

    It will be a learning experience, and a possible payday.

    You will not be very efficient the first few times you deal with ewaste, so don't weigh your time too heavily. look at your future profits.

    If after a few deals its still not worth your time, then you will (hopefully) have enough knowledge to pass these deals on to someone else and recieve a fair finders fee.

    Ewaste is not as lucrative as it used to be, but many things aren't. Scrappers need to know a little about a lot of things so we don't walk past a pile of money that may only take a few phone calls to find someone to pick it up for us.

    Also, you don't want your customer finding someone else to take care of it that ends up handling all of their scrap for them.

    These links might help out a little. Your first trip might be a big learning experience as to what and how your buyer sorts things, and if you get paid decently. You can compare prices with some of our buyers lists. Good luck.

    If you will make a few more posts, then you should be able to PM and post pics. I believe 10 is the magic number.
