G'day All

[Bourny176]

Hello to all,

My name is Troy and i and live in Western Australia. Over the last year i have been getting into ewaste bits and pieces. Mainly been collecting and semi processing,mainly free stuff from roadside pickups, but next year will be putting in a serious effort once my work roster goes to 2 on and 4 weeks off and the house extensions are done.

Looking at trying a couple of different styles including shredding,milling and using a shaker table which i have already but yet to build a processing area for it. I'm also interested in buying ewaste material in the form of ram, cpu's and motherboards and others.
Working on ideas/projects to use the waste safely.

Cheers Troy
