Common uses
- Computers and servers
- Telecom equipment
- Consumer electronics
- Industrial control gear
Recycling information
- Sort by board grade before selling; mixed e-scrap is always paid at the lowest grade.
- Remove batteries, capacitors and CRT glass — they are separate hazardous streams.
- Precious-metal recovery requires a licensed refiner, not a general yard.
