I'm new to automotive salvage here, so I'm throwing this out to test the waters. I'm sure it has been done before, if in fact it is economically feasible.

You auto scrappers, do you pull the electronics (ECU, PCM, etc) to sell to e-waste recyclers? In the area I live there is very little awareness or interest in e-waste, and I was considering approaching a couple of the auto recyclers in my area and offering to buy these e-waste products from them before they crush.



What do you charge if you sell them, or offer if you buy them? Kickbacks or trades?

One way I was considering to get cost down was by offer g to trade back the aluminum casing these things nearly always come wrapped up in. Think they would bite on that?

I'm just starting out in an area where auto salvage and metal recycling is HUGE and very competitive, but e-waste not nearly so much. I'm trying to find ways to develop unique and early relationship with my local recyclers before the e-waste market here starts to see serious growth and participation.

Thanks for reading.
