    Well...I'd fly out...you can get pretty cheap flights with south west and be back in less than a day and on to the next load...

    And my facility has less than 10 employees...I have 2 guys dis-mantling/ processing part time on the computer end (as the rest of the time they work on my salvaged auto) then 2 others processing the paper goods and plastics. Glass is more of an obscurity around me for recycling...(besides the bullet proof glass sheets that I currently still have over 24,000 lbs of if anyone is interested)

    And my bank is stretched through many different markets and in regards to my e-waste dept...it is at times the equivalent...

    I guess it all depends on the biz' plan...their workflow...what they do, how they do it, how quickly they can turn it to reinvest it somewhere else...



    I don't live in a big city though am located between the 2 largest in my state and just happen to be lucky enough to be 30-45 mins from my port. (it also helps that I've been in this industry since I was 19 and spent many years just learning every bit of knowledge I could from whoever have a moment to talk...selectively that is...I was able to learn from their successes and failures and when my chance came...I grabbed it and haven't looked back!)
