You can also get extra ewaste from hotels by handling their lost and found. But hotels always have extra push carts of all different types like those U-line ones and are good irregular clients anyways.

    I had an extended stay hotel/apartment type place for a few months before the pandemic and in the span of like 3 months I got a load of 20ish hot water heaters, a load of like 20 bikes (that they cut off of a rack after it was there too long/been abandonned) and a whole bunch of other odds and ends. hotels/apt complexes are great. But during the pandemic the manager that I knew there either got let go or moved jobs and I havent been able to reconnect with the new one... (i tried but email went unanswered)

    I should try to get some others...
