    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.

    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.
