    Hello to all.

    My name is Ted L and started doing e-scrap earlier this year and incorporated a electronics recycling company a few months ago. I used to be into HVAC for the last 12 years and always did the scrapping on the side with whatever type of material that I was working with. Now fully into the e-waste world and going full ahead with it on a small scale at first, but already out growing my basement and garage. Living in the northwest suburbs of Chicago makes it hard to move forward due to the heavy saturation of "scrappers" here. My plan though, is to open a recycling facility within a year and work on getting R2 certified. I am new to this forum stuff and always like to look people in the eye when I'm talking to them, so this is just a little different, but looking forward to helping out and/or just talking to all of you here in the forums.
