    Arrow FNG to scrapping, but I spent 17 years working in IT in the military...

    So I have one step up on what and where parts are in computer equipment. I am collecting CRTs (both monitors and TVs) and printers right now because I drive a Miata. Not much room to haul stuff with that. I've done dumpster diving before both at a house and end-of-the-semester trash-it-fests outside dorms and student apartments.

    I am wondering what, if any, value car audio equipment have. Looking through the forums, I couldn't find much about kitchen appliances, but I see free ones on CL all the time.

    Beyond scrapping, I run a non-prof computer repair service, so not all computer parts get recycled to yards, but are reused to keep folks that cannot afford to pay for such services.



    Other than that, I am a disabled OIF combat veteran and have been Navy/Navy Reserve my entire career. Yeah, my longest deployment anywhere was Iraq.

    I will have a BGS in Sociology, MIS, and Environmental Science at the end of this summer (2012) and am looking for a Project Manager/Consulting type job in the IT world.

    I am an alumnus of Beta Theta Pi and have traveled to nearly every state in the union and more countries than I can count.

    Any questions?

    God is great, scrap is good, and people are crazy

    Its better to be scrapping and thinking of God than sitting in church thinking of scrapping

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Texas is my favorite state...DFW and Lake Texhoma area. Southern Oklahoma, Ardmore area would be second. Favorite country would be a split between Belize and south Korea.
