Those of you whose local e-waste recycling center allow you to buy/pick their stock, do you pay by the price of the item, or by the total weight of everything? I vaguely remember reading a comment about them selling scrape by weight, so that's why I imagine it's an option.

If it's not normally something they allow members of the public to do, how did you manage to convince them to allow you to do it? Offering up my ass is not an option.

Is it just a matter of calling them up or e-mailing them and saying "Hey, can I pls buy some of your wares o_0? K thx bye XD"
