    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.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    No. Stanton. But there wasn't anything there, so went to Red Oak, Clarinda and Shenandoah. There used to be (probably gone now. this was the mid to late 60s) a skating rink south of Shen that I'd go to a lot. Another one was in Clarinda. Always good for meeting girls. Then to the A&W.
