    Greetings from Boston

    I will be buying a cargo van in the coming month.

    I am interested in scrapping but have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to breaking things down.
    I'm interested in what can be done with TV's and laptops/desktops and if it is really worth dissecting that stuff.
    That said I have NO idea what I'm doing.

    When I think of scrapping I'm thinking of taking someones oven and fridge and bringing it over to a scrapyard untouched.
    Also, if people want to let me know any good yards in the Boston area that would be helpful as well as newb links on dismantling etc.

    -Dan

    Hello from Denver. What you need to know can be found here. I find that I retain information better if I do the research myself.
