    1st commercial pickup

    So i went ahead and took the leap. I contacted my full time jobs IT contractor and asked him about the e-waste they have. He was very excited to have someone help them with there overflowing storage unit of e-waste. I just got home with my very first commercial pickup of e-waste. Everything in the past i have been getting from Curb Co, coworkers and family. Im stoked. Funny thing is, this was only 1/3 of the stuff they had in storage and they want it all out ... at my convenience. I did this for free and will continue because its literally down the road from my every day job. I will add a detailed list when i can.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    Great score! Before you tear everything apart, check for resale. If that iMac in the front works, it's worth $150 minimum. Those all in one LaserJets are valuable, too!

    I love commercial and school pickups. Wow them with excellent service, and your name will start getting around!

    Commerical type places are almost always better. More often than not, they just want the stuff gone. I almost always get better than scrap value stuff in those loads. I have one client where they change out all computers once they are 3 years old. Needless to say, most of what I get from them is better than scrap.
