And if they don't tell you, then you will think your results are normal and buy based on that until someone comes along to all your sellers and tells them he can pay more...then what? You need a full truckload. It needs to be sorted properly to know it's minimum returned value. Then you need to babysit the processing of your material for the duration. You can broker that out or do it yourself but it must be done. The service would not be available if it wasn't an issue. Refiners as a lot are a dishonest industry. They are encouraged to fluff their bottom lines wherever they can.
I refine memory and fiber cpus in house. I built the equipment to do it, it is 99% a mechanical process. I even send the waste out for testing to ensure the process is doing what I designed it to do.
Long story short, it's risk management that will make your decision for you.
Good info thanks,
