For my job, I resell computers and repair ones for local customers. A lot of my customers will bring in their old computers for recycling (We offer free recycling at our repair shop). They'll purchase a refurbished computer, and theirs, depending on age/condition/specs is either dismantled for scrap, is rebuilt, or a combination of the options. We also hold free collection events in the area, and I serve some of the local schools.



The higher value (But still not usable) scrap goes to buyers on here. I purchase working more than scrap parts that I reuse, but some of these fail testing. They get lumped in with group 1. I end up with nice desktops and laptops that I sell.

The byproduct is mostly cases, inkjet printers, scanners, and other non-usable stuff. That's what I scrap.
