    Dorm Scrapping Ideas

    So I have been scrapping around the college that I attend and so far I have done really good as far as collecting cans simple stuff that can be found in the recycling bins. I was wondering if anyone had any kind of suggestions as to what else I could look for around a college campus? Any ideas are welcome.

    Better be careful if you are pulling from recycling bins because recyclables aren't consider trash and you may get charged with theft.

    Computers and related parts, we have a whole section here on breaking them down, value, and buyers for the parts.
    Electronics in general have some value and are not too hard to store. Keep your magnet handy, anything non-magnetic has better value than steel.

    Check to see if your campus has a Surplus Property office or some name like that. They may have auctions or sealed bids from time to time that you could score all kinds of things for less than scrap value.

    Need to be targeting used electronics and escrap at a college, people are always buying new phones and computers and gadgets and need to get rid of there old stuff. You can buy it and sell it thru a variety of outlets. Your targeting cans when you should be looking for old tablets and iphones. Put out fliers on bulletin boards, ads in the school paper and on craigslist. You will get tons of stuff.
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE
