Direct To Refiners

Also, to add to a few posts, 5 million pounds a year is a massive amount, Unless you are a buyer with that kind of volume, you most likely will not see the amount of money you think. I had contacted a plastics refiner here in the Chicago area some years ago by accident looking for a plastics buyer, and the girl that I was talking to gave me the minimums that they deal with, we are talking like 3 to 4 semi's a week, constantly and bailed.



Even shipping a truckload of motherboards to one of the buyers here would be well worth your startup and the shipping can also go through someone here, I seem to remember there used to be a member that had specials for full truckloads and he had his own carriage company or something like that.

Now nobody knows the size of your operation or the actual quantity that you are receiving but if you are just getting into the business of e-waste, you need to take the steps to get to the next level.

Also if you became a paid member, you would have access to the closed section and there has been a lot of this sorta thing discussed in there, an open forum, like this thread, will not get you the answers you so desire. Like I recommended in an earlier post, introduce yourself, give people a little background on you and your business and fill in your profile as much as you can, then get your paid lifetime membership, the best money I spent, and start doing the research through the old treads, we all have done it.

I can't speak for anyone else here on the forum, but for me, I was just adding my trials and mishaps with wanting to go big and had a rude awakening, which is why I stuck with the "get, sort, sell, start over" attitude. It pays really quick and it keeps me working, usually. Everyone just seems to be trying to help you move forward, sitting on Gaylord's of product waiting to find a refiner just doesn't seem cost effective, unless you have a huge line of open credit. IMO.
