Refiners: Who would y'all suggest?

Selling to a refiner seems like the next logical step. Once I figure everything out and get the results back I will give y'all a detailed report.

If what you stated before this is true:

For the most part I buy the scrap I process for several reasons, and only refine for a few people. In buying the scrap there is no argument about the yields, no room for dishonesty on either side, or for misinterpretation on how much the yield should be. I personally prefer to conduct my own business this way, however, if I were a recycle company accumulating e-waste in the amounts you stated you are, in other words if the tables were reversed, I would have it processed by a refiner instead of selling to one. There will be a substantial difference in the amount you will make. If the idea of representing your own material seems a bit daunting to you, post on GRF and ask for someone willing to represent your material for 1% of the yield. Someone who knows how to represent material will make up far more than that just insuring your material is processed properly.
