Wanted

Post by blackshadow »

My 14 year old son is scrapping old and broken computers, video game consoles, cell phones and other assorted junk to make money for collage. He pays 2 dollars for broken lappies and p.c.s and 50 cents for broken cell phones. he is recycling all the metals, If it helps pay for collage I am all for it !! I have agreed to help gather them for him, post or pm me and we will arrange pick up if possible. I think it is a great idea, but for some reason the government is scooping everything as they are no longer available at waste wise or the salvation army due to govt policy changes. I dont know where they are going but i know he cant find any any more. they have them, they just cannot sell them any more....if you have some he would appreciate the help.thanks Mike and Robert.

Hey Mike! Been awhile.

So you guys are going to take this stuff away for free? How about monitors and printers? I have a number of clients that have computer rooms in need of a clean out.

If i was home, I guarantee that I could get you more than I could bring up, lol. I've got a few things myself that I could give. Is there any type of deadline on this?

Wow I wrote a post and it vanished! Thanks all for the response. There is no deadline, Robert has 4 years to go for collage. He says he will take any kind of electronic scrap, even monitors. Good to hear from you Pexxy as well as you Steve. HMM i spelt Pezzy wrong but I think I will leave it. A coffee meet sounds great if it is cool with everyone! A roomfull would be great Steve... Where is home need4speed??? Thanks All Mike & Robert

Hi all, well Robert rendered down 5 lappies and a cell phone this week and is looking for more to work on. he is doing a couple of broken video game consoles today and then he will be out of junk to scrap.

Glad to help. :thumbup: I was amazed at how much junk had accumulated at that one location. Once the word got out that we were getting rid of old PC's it didn't take long to fill a skid box.

We will keep looking at some of our other sites to see what we can do. ;)

Thanks everyone, looking forward to some new old stuff. A big thanks to Pezzy and Co as well as Slewak.That was a nice pile of stuff from you guys. Bobby wanted to be at the coffee meet but it was take your kid to work day so he was with Barb at the dental office harassing patients. Steve you just call buddy and Michael or I will come if you have more junk. Look forward to meeting you next month ND4SPDSE. Cheers!
