If you tear apart your low grade baords like some of us do. Meaning popping of aluminum and the CBM's. It only takes a couple more seconds to take a 1 inch wood chisel and a hammer and pop off them IC chips. Then just throw them in a 5 gallon bucket and wait for it to fill up. Granted I only do ths with the ones that are bigger than say the size of a penny. But they are adding up.
