Re: iSeries Needs A New Home

["Bob P. Roche" <BRoche@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm closer than Mr. Munday to West Michigan, but SE Wisconsin is still a 
good drive away. I have the tools take it a part, tried stripping into 
some parts to get it home, Main chassis still weighed more then my little 
hatchback at the time liked.

Those old S20 and 720 machines are gold mines!

Last load of stuff (1 1/2 weeks ago) they paid:
Steel: $210 a ton.
Lead batteries: $320 a ton.
Aluminum: $700 a ton.
Copper: $6,000 a ton.

But you do have to take them apart. Computer recycling companies 
generally charge you to accept them due to the amount of labor required. 
But these are among the best machines for recycling as IBM builds them 
to come back apart.

When we recycle them only the plastic doesn't get recycled. Git yerself 
a 7MM and 5.5MM nut driver and have at it!

P.S. if close to West Michigan, we pick up!
