All you really need to do, is take a hammer or sledges and one or two good whacks will knock all the plastic off.

Another thing you can do, is sell the really good phones to someone who fixes them up and resells them.

The math was done.. you lose money by sending in boards only. Not just in weight but in time.

Had some issues early on. I believe we should have this fixed today!
Once that is up and running (bug free) we will introduce additional functionality, very excited!

Thanks

I took a sample group of around 20 of the same phone and broke them down.........I figured out that I was losing my ass breaking them down as I normally pay $3-$4 a pound for phones.........Ewasted makes it very simple.....Remove the back and the battery and ship them in for a nice profit

I believe in an earlier post ewasted stated that the cd/ DVD boards can go from 2.50 to motherboard pricing. I would think that the small board that is green/brown would be low grade as well as the boards from floppys. There is not much on those.

$.44/lb

Ewasted posted this yesterday mrsansonite.

I wanted to take a minute to say thanks to Mario! I moved to Miami this summer, and my dad and Brother took over Thortek Recycling in lima. The ground work I laid, and my old man's ambition have really paid off! They loaded up the old man's new truck with 3000#'s of material to take to the team in mentor! Even after The team at cfcs found a great, and I mean GREAT freight price to send everything on pallets! (My step sister's husband the "freight broker" quoted $700 and the team at CFCS quotes nearly 1/3 of the price)

When the guys arrived today they thought they'd drop pallets and head back. NOPE Mario sorted the boards and cut them a check before they left town!

Amazing service and as a FYI pricing that is 25% higher than anyone else I've found!

Thanks!!!
