Minor rant here... I have canvassed my city looking for any computer/electronic scrap. Every single computer repair/seller/whatever has a company come in and take their unusable equipment. I explained to them what it is that I do, and that I would be happy to pick up the equipment for FREE - But they'd still rather PAY someone to come and get their scrap stuff.
So I am more or less stuck with Craigslist and local facebook buyer/seller pages, which doesn't net much at all.
I am not sure what else to try. I have made some progress with businesses that use electronics, but their volume is very low (average 1 pc a month gets tossed out).
Anyone have any ideas? I am wondering if I could get 'certified' as a e-waste recycler so I could make some kind of 'business', I don't really know what these other businesses do to be qualified to charge and take the scrap. Wish I could do that
Thanks.. Just wanted to vent a bit.
