2 months of e waste scrapping and YouTube videos mixed with lots of research. I barely put the word out and my garage is stacked with computers and monitors, electric motors of all sizes, cables, circuit boards of most grades and copper. Lots of copper. I’ve been on a hunt for my niche now for a while now. I’m 28. I enjoy organizing and sorting. (Could never think of a career that involves organizing that I enjoy). I got into electronics through my job with soldering and repairs and fell in love with scrap and raw materials.

Now for these last two months I’ve been stacking up all sorted materials as best as I can without having made one run to the yard. I found every yard in my area. I called for some prices. I checked out their web sites. and I’m almost ready for my first sale. I have some questions.

1) Can I sell my plastic scrap?
2) What should I do with monitor filters?
3) Are monitor power boards the same as power supplies?
4) Can my snipped cable ends go for dirty brass?
5) Any advice on grading PCB’s. And what yards usually pay for them.
(I just ordered a scale online)




Thank you!
