    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    We don't have any yard closer to us. We're in Wyoming, where there is nothing but miles and miles of miles and miles. It's either this or the landfill. I won't send stuff to the landfill for moral reasons, and it would cost more. I'm one of the only E-Waste processors in the entire state.



    If my truck can handle a load on the trailer, I'd be for it. I'm trying to get some numbers for what I can expect to do. I'd rather break even on loads than kill the truck. I'm interested in hearing some scrap loading tips, and other things. For example BC mentioned splitting the load- some on the trailer and some on the truck. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to split the load?

    If I can haul 2500# on the trailer with nothing on the bed, instead of breaking even, I'd be making $75 per trip instead of breaking even. That's a lot better! Now, how much weight is a resonable number???
