With copper find someone who pays very good and work out a deal with them, there is one guy on here who buys copper (recycling company) look into them.

E-waste not much needs to be said here as I am someone who you can work with and I will try my best to have you grow...the more you get the more I get an we all go home happy.

And so on..I think you get the drift.


For everyone else thank you all for saying what you are about me I just try my best and do what I can. Here shortly I will ask for anyone who feels good and or bad about me to wright a letter to me (by e-mail) and I would like to add it to my website.

Anyway if I can be of anymore help please let me know.

This stuff is great. I'm mostly a copper, brass and aluminum person. I also seem to be the only person who separate Mazak (Zinc) from steel.

I've been selling my steel directly to a mill and getting about $40 a ton over all the other yards so I'm happy with that. I operate out of my house and have to sell off stuff like steel really quick so the city doesn't get me. I need to get rid of my aluminum now as I've gotten a truckload of Al and it's getting in my way.

I will be in touch about the copper but I'm sort of sitting on it now waiting for the price to go back up.

Easy, is a pallet qty. big enough on the ewaste? I can sort it however needed but I bet you'll need to see photos of it since most is from industrial machines. It will be a while before I have a full pallet but I'm sure I can do that (I'm trying to get ahold of a storage unit full of towers right now so if I get it, I'll be in touch).
