    New member from Houston, Texas

    Hello, and Happy New Year. I'm fairly new to the electronics recycling biz myself. However I work now for a company here in Houston that is both buying and selling e-scrap. I joined hopefully to be able to learn a few things.

    Skeptical it's a low quantity buyer. Most buyers are 5000 lb minimum that I've found in Houston.

    To the Auto haters on here, and to the respectable ones also

    Ive watched this site for quite a while. Call me cheap, but I haven't purchased a membership yet. So I cant PM anyone. No offense at all, but I find most of the info on here old by several years. Im new to the E-waste not the the business as a whole. For those of you who were cordial to my being new here, thank you. However, for the skeptical ones Manjelle and RCA987. For one we dont have a minimum for local residents we will come pick it up. If you want to drop it off the same goes, no matter where you are from. 500 is our minimum otherwise. RCA987 im not sure what you consider low quantity, but your more than welcome to visit our 20k sqft ware house. Lets just put it this way, its more than your late model ford ranger can scrape up in a good bit of time. So that being said, feel free to contact me when you like.

    Where are you located in Houston? And by small quantity, I am referring to the every day scrapper that doesn't exclusively process ewaste, but does still sort it.
