About who we are...

We have been in the electronics recycling business for nearly 15 years and have gained a lot of experience along the way. We serve the greater Kansas City area and can say, there's always room for more. No matter where you live, you can start your electronics recycling business today with little cash and resources. Most importantly, you need to be able to haul the junk and a place to work! We used a small trailer and worked out of a storage unit for quite awhile before moving into our new facility near Butler MO.

We'll talk more in the near future about how you can set up your operation. Here's a link to our web site for more information www.ecycle-now.com

Con's- we live in Missouri and the Department of Natural Resources heavily regulates the usage of chemicals needed to extract the gold. More about this in an upcoming post.

In the meantime, here's a good basic video of how gold is extracted from the parts:
