Whoo boy ... lots of questions.
There's quite a bit of detail when it comes to Ewaste. It's a steep learning curve. You won't learn it all overnight.
Another thing that complicates it is that new technology is emerging at a very fast pace. For example: A processor -or- RAM stick that sold for ten dollars six months ago might have become obsolete. It might only be worth 25 cents today as scrap.
Let's try something simple to get you started.
Sort your memory sticks into two piles.
The first pile will be " Better than Scrap " Look on the label of the memory stick. These ones will say PC 3 -or- DDR 3. They might even say PC 4 -or- DDR 4 if you're lucky. You want to set these ones aside and be gentle with them.
The second pile will be " Scrap Memory ". That's everything else.
Get those two piles made and then we can work it from there ?
BTW ... you're not over thinking it. We just need to take it a step at a time till you get the hang of it and can do it for yourself.
ETA: Sorry JJ. Looks like we posted at about the same time. Can you take the lead on this one ? I've got a couple of long work days ahead and won't have time to post for awhile.
