I have an interesting find I need help with recycling

I really didn't know where to post so here goes.

I have been cleaning out this computer shop all week and he wants me to take these canisters...

The only problems I have is are they worth more to sell, what might the contents be (he said syrup as in syrup for soda), what is the proper way to open them with out getting blasted in the face with whats inside? In other words are they pressurized?

I had one of those from a clean out and the yard wouldn't take it because it's property of the beverage company.

I just did a google search cant find anything about them being in business anymore, not only that I just called the number and it has been dis-connected. Area code 989.

So.. It looks like I will either resell or scrap just take off the sticker.

Don't scrap them! Put them on craigslist as long as you can verify the company is no longer around. I have a friend who uses those for home brewing and they are hard to find. You can sell those no problem.

I have sold them on ebay for 80-100 including shipping.

Thanks fellas! lol, I like the idea of 80-100 ryanw The guy has eight of them just to hand over.

I think I will definitely be giving this guy a gift card of some kind.

He calls me up and tells me one week to come and get all this computer scrap out back behind his shop. Then two weeks later he tells me to clean out his shop of computer electronics, and other various items, like a Geiger meter Really cool I might resell that. I have been spending a week grabbing as much as I can and I still have more to do.

All in all I have gotten 15-20laptops, 10pcs, 1-2servers, 10 items with high grade boards in them (sorry I can't be more specific) 6-7 boxes full of wire, a trunk full of xbox 360 parts, 7flat screen monitors, misc items up the ying yang.

I will be going back monday to pick up more Laptops, boxes of finger cards, well basically boxes and boxes of misc items.

Have I said I love this site lately?

Oh on a side note would any body be interested in buying these please PM me I think there are 6-8 of them

I even tried another phone number 517-752-0644 (Lansing area) found on Google it is disconnected as well. The owner of the shop said a lot of his old employees used to leave their "cool" finds in his shop.

Wondering where you been hiding HH. Now we know, you been mining that shop for goodies!

Nice score. Good luck on moving them, you'll make a home brewer happy somewhere, which makes me happy..so..good job!

Sirscrapalot - Likes when his goodies go to home brewers, helps to keep the cooler filled!
