Was a hobby scrapper, want to start E-scrapping (OHIO)

As someone who was involved in an ewaste company in Ohio, it is an interesting state. The landfills are each run by the local town, not by a big county as they are here in MD. In MD, you can drop your electronics off at the landfill. In Ohio, most towns do not allow for electronics drop off. One suggestion is to talk with the local towns. Many have once a year or twice a year waste collections. Tell them you want to set up a truck to collect their electronics to keep them out of the landfill. Many will let you do it. You could even say you only want the computers. When we did it, the towns let us just have them for free. Sometimes we got 100 or more computers in a day. Homeowner associations often sponsor some of these events. When we did an event with Cuyahoga Falls, we filled 3 semis with TVs (at $10 each), 2 semis of computers, 3 40ft rolloffs of waste, a gaylord of wire and half a gaylord of phones.

Some towns may let you put a gaylord or two at their landfill where people can put electronics. (Have to be careful that someone is there to make sure the stuff is not stolen).



Good luck.
