    Hello from North Carolina...

    Hi. My name is Chris. I am not a professional scrapper by any means but I have been taking stuff to various scrap yards for many many years now. I used to work construction and would always look forward to demolition jobs for the extra money my crew and I could make.

    I now have a small computer repair business that does generate some recyclable material and fortunately a new scrap yard opened up in town about 10 months ago that offers pretty good prices for ewaste. I have dabbled recently in buying processors off of Ebay and selling them to this scrap yard and have done alright.

    I've read through some of the forums, trying to educate myself. I'm glad to be here.

    Chris

    Hello from North Carolina...

    Hey Chris, where in NC are you? I'm in Fayetteville, and there aren't any yards that take E-waste.
