    Newb To The Forum

    I already started posting before introducing myself.

    Forums I frequent usually disparage it.

    Anyway, here we go.

    I work with the City Of Canton, Oh (specifically the Health Department) running the e-waste program.

    I'm also partnering with American Recycling Services in Alliance, Oh to expand my reach and use their warehouse and equipment.

    I do all types of scrap but, really specialize in e-scrap.

    I don't have a company as such yet.



    I'm an independent contractor though I use BTS (Butchelli Technical Services) as my professional moniker.

    I've been tearing things apart and scrapping the metals since I was 8.

    Hell, maybe longer.

    I'm very happy to have found this place.

    A wealth of information and the ability to network with like minded individuals is great.

    If you have any questions about me or what I do feel free to PM me or post in this thread.

    Thanks for reading.

    Thanks man.

    I'm trying to get my business going further and do something good for the world.

    I tell people how passionate I am about recycling and making the world a better place even when a buck can't be made and I get looks like, "Sure you are.... wink wink.".

    I am totally against export to China or India.

    So if anyone does refining in the US/CAN please let me know.

    We do all dismantling in house.

    Nothing gets shipped overseas.

    Thanks, I certainly plan to.

    I'm amassing a few gaylords before I start selling though.

    A few weeks is a pretty good guess when I can get that much.

    Not to mention all the new markets for stuff I hadn't even thought of.

    I have a new place to spend countless hours on my ass.

    For that, I thank you all.

    I have to say that all the buyers on our forum have some recommendations from our members that have been posted. You will get a fair shake, it's just a matter of you figuring out which one best suits your needs for what your saving.

    I get so much material I can really save anything and everything.

    It's all in if there is a market for it.

    Like I said in a post (somewhere on the forum), I was dealing with a guy near me whom I used to work for and I've been getting anally raped without realizing it.

    I should have been checking around more.

    Having this community will definitely benefit me and those I deal with.

    I look forward to it.
