Consumer electronics include
televisions, computers, video game consoles,
vcr's, dvd players, monitors, cell phones,
printers, stereo equipment, ect.
All of the above listed items
contain recyclable plastics see plastic
recycling , copper wire see
electric wire recycling , and in some
cases batteries see battery
recycling .
There is
legislation that will be going into effect in 2009 mandated
by the FCC that all broadcast television
signals will have to be digital. It's yet to be seen
but some theorize that millions of tv's will be
discarded. This opens up a huge problem disposing
of millions of potentialy toxic crt tubes. There
are a few companies currently producing machines
to dispose of them, but not enough to cover
the demand. This is a great opportunity to get
into this business early.
Also another great product to
recycle is Cell Phones.
Working or not they are worth
money. There are a number of companies that will
actually purchase these from you.

Computers are another great
market to get into not just from a raw materials
standpoint, but many scrap computers still contain
reusable parts such as power supplies, cd drives,
processors, hard disks ect. That can be easily
resold on Online Auction sites for a profit.
Also there are companies that
will purchase the mother boards in bulk, in order
to process the Gold, platinum, and copper from
them. This also holds true for most consumer
electronics.
The great thing about this is
most of the work can be done efficiantly with
simple hand tools.
A good dualshaft shredder and
magnetic seperator can make this even more
efficient and profitable.
