thansk for this post! I feel like I am just starting to get a grasp on the whole topic colecting and sorting e-waste, cord ends I would have to say have been the most diffuclt to really understand ( go figure something as simple as a cord end causing o much confusion!) honestly I have been pulling brass from power cords but throwing most pc/IT ends in the trash, I had no clue! not untill recently have I started throwing them in a bucket, hopefuly I will get a good enough understanding soon so that I can seporate tese correctly.
