WildWEST
Parts of the e-recycling world are akin to the wildwest this is a largely unregulated industry
customers beware
Your equipment could end up burning in Ghana,
or in a lake in Minnesota
Potential liability no matter what the contract
says indemnification clauses wont go very far
You need to be careful selecting an e-recycler this used to be difficult but now
