Being new to ewaste, I’m still struggling to figure out a strategy for what to do with it all. I work out of a 1-car garage that I share with my spouse for workspace, so I don’t have a ton of space for storage etc. so basically, I am considering the use of BoardSort or another online buyer to handle my boards. My questions are these:

1) are low grade boards worth shipping? Compared to mid and high grade boards.

2) I would be most likely using USPS flat rate shipping boxes for shipping so realistically how much low/mid grade board weight would I need to ship to make a decent profit considering shipping? (I live in Oklahoma)

3) would it be more profitable to strip all value items from boards such as tantalum, IC’s, BGA’s, mlcc’s, copper, and aluminum until I have enough to fill a box and then ship THAT instead of the boards, and then just send the remainder of the board to shred??



Thanks for any help. I am a fairly low volume, hobby scrapper and struggling to figure out ewaste.
