What do you get for shred electronics?

With electronics recycling outfits that are doing it right, the stuff doesn't get landfilled. There's a big shredder at SRS (Sims Recycling Solutions) here in Roseville. It's used because it's not cost effective to break everything down by hand. Everything from printers, keyboards, some hard drives that are more difficult to dismantle, and more are sent through it. Everything's separated out in the end for proper recycling.
