Yep, Sirscrapalot...they are electronic waste.
I just have a more limited space right now, so I have to limit what I take in for the higher $$$ items. The last event I did, I got like 30-35 of the darn things....and really for $5-15 or so, the labor and the disposal (taking to Best Buy) just outweighed the $5-15 worth of copper / brownboards and wire I was getting out of them. I shoot for $40-50/hr in breakdown, so had to rethink those. When I get to a larger space and I can just palletize them, and store until I have a truckload to send to a larger facility that pays .50-1.00 each...I would just snip the cord and send them on...that would make more sense....well $200-300 net per truckload isn't killing it, but would be easy extra $$$. I will take LCD/plasma ones at the event as the parts are worth FAR FAR more than the scrap value and they are lightweight....otherwise, have to pass until the larger building.
