2 months of e waste scrapping and YouTube videos mixed with lots of research. I barely put the word out and my garage is stacked with computers and monitors, electric motors of all sizes, cables, circuit boards of most grades and copper. Lots of copper. I’ve been on a hunt for my niche now for a while now. I’m 28. I enjoy organizing and sorting. (Could never think of a career that involves organizing that I enjoy). I got into electronics through my job with soldering and repairs and fell in love with scrap and raw materials.

Now for these last two months I’ve been stacking up all sorted materials as best as I can without having made one run to the yard. I found every yard in my area. I called for some prices. I checked out their web sites. and I’m almost ready for my first sale. I have some questions.



1) Can I sell plastic scrap? Where to dispose?
2) What should I do with monitor filters?
3) Are power boards graded the same as power supplies?
4)Can my snipped cable ends go for dirty brass?
5) How much gold scrap should I accumulate before I dare to recover?
(I just ordered a scale online)


Thank you!
