What does YOUR scrap area look like

Our ticketing system is down and I'm a little bored at work so I figured I'd post some poor quality pictures of our junk room... :cool:

That black box under the table is this:

It's a Dolce PAC 65 network sniffer running Windows NT and sporting a lighting fast Pentium II (Somewhere in the range of 233 MHZ I believe). Things like a bigass laptop. Not sure what I'm going to do with it since it's in good working condition. Might take it home and start working on my Retired IT Gear Museum.

Nothing super impressive but it's not a bad start I don't think.

nice. clean work space. you ewaste guys are lucky about that. my space is in constant competition with spiders and grease. get dirty, stay dirty

Filthy im right there with you. very often i wonder if there is a floor under all the boards. Lucky i have had a few days to get ready for this weekend, and i can see half of it now. O yeah and got to love the pest that come with E-waste. Nothing like a roach bomb going off in you garage and running for every space possible. Last week we had 2 giant black widows walk out of the only 2 clean monitors and the big one got away O.o

Hey Dune, get ready I'll be filling up your garage come tuesday.

Happy I might beat ya to it on Saturday, but this will be my first e waste experience. Nervous yet excited. More nervous about what I paid and what I will get back.

But on subject my 20 acre family land is starting to look like an appliance waste land. Granted I used about a one acre spot hidden with trees but it's full of all kinds of crap. Right now i got about 30 out there. Just waiting on prices to get right.

Pretty much all the time.

This is a 30x50 shop on 3 city lots and my house is 2 city lots next door.

I have my ewaste on 3 diff properties and it is getting frustrating going back and forth.....I work one property one day then another the next etc......Very frustrating untill I can find a big enough place that I can put all my stuff on

Yeah happy bull has you beat by alot from what hes described to me. As you can see these 2 past weeks are about as crazy as it gets lol.

Not bad scrapcrazy.

I like the old school looking radio on the table.

Thanks man! I try. A slow month I'll do about 150 units, a good month double. Trying a new approach with selling verus just scrapping. The radio was from one of my many picks. I started Scrapping Electronics after seeing so many computers during many of my searches picking. Someday I'll take pics of the other side of the garage to show what I've found. The radio is used daily.

This is the teardown bench when it was clean.

This shelf was a great addition to the garage. The shelf unit will handle anything I can put on it, even has room underneath for large totes/buckets.

This is where I keep the smaller stuff till selling time.

It's funny, I think without the e-scrap industry, the plastic tote industry would tank overnight. I have them all over the house!

Good point BigRyan, my biggest investment for me may be the money I put into my plastic totes. I have over 16 of them full already and I'm needing more. I can't seem to get myself to sell just yet. I figure the nicer the tote, the less hell I get from the wife. Lesson to be learned: if you like to store in totes, buy duplicates of the same exact one. When they are empty they can stack into each other. I have 4 different types so even when I'm empty, they're taking up space.

I also use some 30 gal cardboard barrels, their great for throwing #2 insulated in. Their big enough to put a foot in and stomping the wire down to compress it but I can still load them by myself.

All of my totes have been aquired by auctiins..they were full of escrap..i have an unlimited number of 55 gL barrels..i have been saving scrap for months..my first load will be over 1000 lbs..cant wait

Where are you selling Scrappy? How do you think you'll ship? My first load 2 months ago was around 800 lbs and I got around $1100 That motivated me big time. I'm sitting on around 2500 lbs now and plan on shipping around 4000lbs. I used EasyRecycles in Texas and drove the 4 hours to get there. I wouldn't mind trying Ewasted but I know shipping costs would kill me.
