    It's situational ... a lot depends on your operating costs.

    I figure the average small socket motherboard weighs somewhere around a pound. It has a scrap value at around 1.35 USD.

    Shipping the e-waste out to a buyer is around .45 USD per pound.



    It would probably be safe enough to pay 1 dollar per computer. Worst case ...you don't make anything on your labor but you do get back the money you put into it.
