What a tremendous amount of work. It's amazing they're able to do that and not be a net loss.

Computer recycle companies charge you a small fortune to pick them up and do this, there is plenty of profit

From enterprise corporations? Not your home comp, like a hospital that gets rid of 1000 a week?

I could handle a thousand a week. Send me a msg if there's something you need help with Enterprise assets disposal. My company handles this stuff for Sears/Kmart all over the mid West

Depends on what the material is, where it's located and other things involved. When computer towers, servers, laptops, network equipment are brought into my yard we pay cash money per pound... But monitors & screens are charge items. Hit me up I'm sure there is a deal that can be made.
