    I would pop off the Tantalum caps and send them to me.

    PTS and the like don't get paid on them and pay to have them removed by the refinery (by you per pound charge). Board refineries don't pay on Ta because they can't melt it. It is sold to a secondary refinery in the slag from your boards. I pop mine off when I remove the battery takes no time more and it pays for the time to remove the battery. I leave everything ells on the board that is soldered on.

    FYI it take about 1500-2000 SMD Tantalum caps to get a pound of them.
