There was a bloke in town here who started an e-waste recycling business. He had no support from local council or state government. The amount of stuff he had piled up was unbeleivable. He stripped, seperated and sold all the different stuff he came across.
The only thing he had trouble off loading was CRT's
No one wanted the glass as it was 'contaminated'

In the end he couldnt support himself or pay the rent so he shut the business down.

2 months later the local council opens up a e-waste centre with all the fanfair you can imagine, Cakes, TV, newspaper etc

Something not right here????
