    call centers?

    Has anyone had any luck gettin e waste from call centers? The must have hundreds of phones and hundreds of puters and id think they would have to update equipment kinda often. Im gonna try contacting a few see how that goes.

    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    I got a call from a clean-out business a couple years ago. They'd been hired by a call center to haul off all their old equipment as they were doing a COMPLETE upgrade. This is what I got from a small operation. The passenger seat was loaded, too.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Any thing is possible. We did get some a couple different times from the American Cancer Society call center.

    I would like to hear if you have any success. I have a couple here and have given a little thought to contacting them. I would really like to know what approach worked. Mike.
