Greetings from IA

My name is Billy and I'm from Clinton, IA.
I have been scraping for all of my life or as long as i can rememberr. My dad always took stuff to the scrap yard and i always helped. Then when my parents got divorced when i was a kid, my mom married a guy who worked for a scrap yard and scrapped.

So fast forward to 3 years ago .
My Step dad and I acquiredired a semi load of computers and sold them. I didn't feel that we received the amount of money we could have.

The last few years i have been doing a little research nothing to serious.
Then a few months ago i got a job working for a coin-op vending company. The first time i saw all of the scrap laying around, my curiosity with scrap E-waste was relight.
In my searching i found the gold refinning fourm which lead my to this forum and i have been reading ever since.

So now I'm learning the E-waste business one day at a time. And trying to make a dollar along the way.

cant remember where clinton is, im origionaly from shelby.

The skating rink is still here, but no A&W.
