I just talked to one of my recyclers in WI; they destroyed all their
"monster machines" last month, including 6' DEC cabinets, Cray servers, Big
Blue IBM cabinets, etc. He promises he will save them in the future, IF I
can promise that someone will take them for more than scrap value.
So, if you can take LARGE old servers from WI, please let me know. They
will palletize properly for shipping. R2 certified recycler, so these must
stay in US, and there will be paperwork to be filled out, since these will
be sold untested.

I tried to find out more about R2 certification and this statement that
items cannot be exported. From the little I have seen, I can't see anything
that says exporting is banned. Certainly, this page does not say you can't:
http://www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/materials/ecycling/certification.htm. What
is particularly interesting is the statement here:
http://www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/materials/ecycling/docs/e-wasteregs.pdf that
"equipment for potential reuse is not waste".
Can anyone point to the definitive statement of what R2 certification
requires from a recycler?
Not that I could ever have space, or afford the shipping, for the items
mentioned above :-(
Regards
Rob

What the rules really say and what the company interprets them as
saying
can be two very distinct things. I deal with regulatory interpretation,
training and enforcment daily. Let's just leave it at companies can be
way off when they implement standards like this.
