A US guy in China working for a EU scrap yard!

Hey USGUY! Like bear said, you'll find all the players here on this forum from the everyday aluminum can collector, full and part time scrappers, precious metal buyers, to owners of scrap yards and recycling companies. It's a great mix. Definitely an excellent source of information. Personally I specialize in Electronic waste specifically on computer and server components. I do this part time, during the day I work in the Environmental industry. I stay pretty busy with the scrapping because fortunately it has been well worth my effort. The key to my success I believe is having a constant supply of scrap and an inexpensive means to transport my material to my buyer who treats me fairly. I have a load delivering to my buyer in two days which consists of 8 cubic yard boxes and a few 55 gallon drums. Total weight 4900 lbs. May not sound like a lot to a guy like you running a huge yard but for a guy working out of his garage and a storage unit it's rather lucrative for 3 months of part time work considering the 4900 pounds is all broken down computer parts.
I hope to hear many stories of your life and business in Asia. I guessed a woman had something to do with your choice to live there for a good while. Woman have that power. Good luck to you and your family!
