I hate computers, but I love breakin em!
I didn't think anyone recycled those, but if it's tangiable it's recycleable I suppose. I'll have to give youtube a shake.

Yes as a general item. I mean, after posting my post I was linked to some posts on
ebay that were selling quarts of copper powder for between $40-50, but that's not saying any were ever sold. My questioning was also aimed at wither the copper would diminish if grinded up into a powder. The grinder I was going to build would have had a cover on it to control dust eliminating a water table.
