I have finally made the commitment to step up to full time electronic recycling. At this point I have found a couple of local outlets that will accept e-waste free of charge. That leads me to believe there must be some money in it up stream a little ways. I'm guessing not much per piece, maybe a few bucks each on the outside. At a volume of 40-50 pieces a month it would hardly be worth it (places like that deal in truckloads) but I have some lines I am working on that should move me into the semi truck load a month range. Ideally I would deal with someone who recycles the CRTs themselves (not a full monitor), circuit boards, etc. My conscience won't allow me to do business with someone who is shipping the stuff to thailand for swamp dumping.
As a side note, if someone could provide me with a proper method to extract gold from CPU's it would be greatly appreciated. I have read page after page on the internet and all of the pages seem to leave out just enough info to make it either unworkable, or downright dangerous. Barring that a trustworthy refiner reference would be great. Both on a CPU and pallet load circuit board level
I understand that some of you may be involved in the recycling industry and don't wish to provide trade secrets to local competitors (or competitors in general) so PM's would be great as well, any information I am provided will be kept in strict confidence. I am located in Spokane, Wa. and won't be straying more than a couple hundred miles from home, basically eastern Washington and northern Idaho.
