    Thanks for the welcomes! For the copper we get almost 4€/kg. Steel is like 0.12€/kg brass i don't know at the moment, these are prices for private sellers (this market is quite new in Sweden, for example i don't know of anyone who pays for electronic scrap other than cables over here.) I'm sure as a company and with big loads you can get some better money.

    That could be huge for you, lots of potential.

    Welcome to the forum. I agree that ewaste could be a big deal for you. Do a lot of reading of the forum and remember prices changes so some of the older threads may show higer prices for ewaste.
    At the bottom of each thread is a list of similar threads.

    Start slowly and build up your business as you learn more and have more equipement to work with.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
