    Disposing of general household e-waste -- anything of value here?

    Hello,



    I'm wondering and looking for some opinions on if there's anything in this list/pictures of e-waste that really has any decent value. I'm not sure if this is the right forum section or if this thread is better off in the e-waste grading/ID forum as it isn't really a singular or specific piece of e-waste that needs ID'ing.

    I have taken the 15 or so years of e-waste that was "hoarded"/collected from our household and roughly sorted it into different piles. I have also taken some pictures and made a list to make it easier for whomever reads this and for whichever scrapyard ends up accepting it. I'm taking the scrap there myself and already have it loaded up in a vehicle
    The majority of the PC components (RAM/PSU/CPU/MOBO) are not from this decade but it's possible something worth a bit more slipped into the pile. I've read that 2GB+ memory sticks are worth more so I'll pull those out. Not sure if any of the CPUs have any real scrap value as they're Pentium III or older. Are PCI cards worth pulling out too? Peripherals seem to be just worthless e-waste so hopefully the plastic and electronics will be kept out of landfills. I also don't mind cracking open a few of the larger items (routers, scanner, the printer switch, etc) and extracting the circuit board.

    If there's anything in here that's absolutely worth keeping aside to properly break apart and sell seperately please let me know!

    Here's what I have so far -- you can take a look at a picture of some of the stuff at this imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/xwedD8S.
