Hello all from Haltom City. I have taken a few minutes to look over the forum. There seems to be a great deal of information here and would like to thank everyone for the education. I am new to the recycling community, and have jumped in up to the neck right off the start. I started about 6 months ago and regret to say I had to learn a lot of lessons the hard way. I am in the e-waste arena and have been having a great time so far. I have managed to pick up between 6000-7000 pounds of electronics so far. Having done complete disassembly on all but the last 300-500 pounds has been no less than interesting. I have found the major portion of "scrap yards" I have had the misfortune to deal with are at best poor poor choices. After locating a few places to ship boards (logic, LSMB, SSMB,PCI) that there has been a difference of half "market value" up to what equates to a profit of 6500%. While I must assume the responsibility for not doing my homework, I am still having an extremely difficult time locating a local yard that offers a competitive compensation rate. If there is anyone in this area who would like to assist me in this area please feel free to message me. Thanks again for allowing me to become a part of your group and I look forward to learning from and with everyone.
John
