First Stop Yield
I just started this venture a few days ago. Decided that e-waste was where I wanted to be scrap wise.
After reading many posts here on this forum, I decided to print up some flyers and start taking them around to a few places today. Then I decided to check with the local thrift store to inquire about their e-waste, Here is the result:

More than i bargained for my first time. They told me that they put stuff out everyday and I'm welcome to come take it whenever I want.
I also made a deal with the local pawn shop for any junk towers they happen to get in.
Proof that it works if you work it :)

you DEFINITELY want to try to get towers, modems etc as much as you can. The printers are just extra, but you will find they are an incredible PITA to take apart for what you get (the inkjet ones..large business lasers are better). You will get a feel for it when you do a few....get yourself a "persuader"...ie a big hammer or someplace you can throw the thing down on (concrete floor). It makes it go alot faster LOL.
SPEND SOME TIME in the computer forum and really learn about the boards etc...there is a VAST difference in terms of value. Once you get it, you will be able to know about what you are getting when you pick a load up (ie if worth your time).
HAVE FUN AND ENJOY! $$$$$ just sitting there for you.
