    No more electronics

    We were at the yard the other day and had a printer and dvd player in the truck from our job they told us the cant take consumer electronic anymore because of the circut boards I guess they have something in the sodder or something. so now all electronics we get have to go to the dump.

    Hello, I am in Southern Delaware. Electronics are still accepted here, but I believe you can save the boards. I believe. I sent mine to this lady in Georgia and once they got there she said they were broke and she couldn't do anything with them. In the back of my mind I think she could but since I was not local she may have taken advantage of the situation. But based on her reason for not accepting my boards I believe she wanted them not broken. She was paying $2.00 per pound. I am looking for circuit board buyers who are more local so I can deal with them but If you have time to carefully pull them out, their weight adds up quickly.

    No way...You actually found someone that will BUY moniters?! What a killer find.

    I'm assuming it's not a regular steel yard?

    Sounds promosing, I charge $15 per moniter to dispose of them for people.

    I like situations like that - Charge to take it and get paid for it at the yard.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
