Good Morning,

Im new tho this Forum and electronics recycling. One issue my business partner and i just cant seem to understand is this precious metal side of the electronics recycling. We have seen a lot of info on how to sort different types of boards (which is overwhelming to us) from what we assume these are middleman buyers.

What is the advantage of using a board "buyer", what are they doing with the material? Has anyone sent there product to a refiner like Sabin, do you still need to sort materials when sending to a refiner? We started our business in January and have approx 6 Gaylords of motherboards, telecom and finger boards ready to ship. Our intention is to wait until we have a full truck load before we sell this material.



I guess what i'm asking is for some advice, assuming we have a minimum of 20 Gaylords where do we get our best bang for our buck?
