    fishin for customers, but may have hooked a wale.

    got on the phone today but got on to something that may be too big, for me to handle. I need advice on this one. was calling some dump sites (landfills) and happened on a container rental lease place, he told me of two hugee sources, for E waste, who at this very moment are looking for a company to take their e waste. the problem is just one of then has 4, 40 ' containers ready to go. I am not prepaired to take on that kind of load, and really dont have the finances to rent the legal property to do it. I have the man power to handle it, but, when I contact these people, I will also attract, code enforcement, EPA, and probably another dozen Protection agencys with in 100 miles. This could be our ticket back to total recovery, but if not handled right just another big dissapointment and a whole lot of heat. any advice.

    I think everyone went to bed early olddude. Wish I could help, but I wouldn't know what to do either. I'm sure you'll get some good advice in the morning after everyone has had their coffee. Or energy drink !
