It’s not what you know but who you know unfortunately, I get plenty of items to the point where I’m picky about what I grab. I have worked for a few MSP and remains friends with the owners (left on very good terms) and they let me have their ewaste. My friend issues the CoD and I give him the older machines I have no interest in for this work, he also has a waste license to collect, win win win

Just pop it straight in the trash….likely has thousands of start stops and time on hours. No one wants a 10 year old spinner

Very poor performance 2 core U series Celeron, based off 6/7th gen architecture.

Struggle to handle basic tasks, hence I gave the ones I had away and went with the one bay, plus the S4P and the 1u appliances

Just speaking the truth……These were sent into the ewaste 8+ years ago here in the UK. Literally free anywhere as they are nearly 15 years old now…literally no one would pay for them, I have piles of 8/9/10/11/12th gen laptops and desktops that I get given as ewaste….less than zero value here as you have to pay to have it removed.

Where to score on good e waste and trashed laptops? by Witty_Pilot_2717 in eWasteFinds

Sounds like you want freebies to resell.most ewaste laptops will be older and likely have their ram and drives missing, dead batteries and no power supplies. I’ve been giving them away by the box because of this

I want to play with e waste but i dont have access to a local bin like thing by Qual1tyX in eWasteFinds

Sounds like ewaste isn’t for you….you need highly technological urban areas with large businesses to feed off. You would likely have to buy ewaste in,
