More money from Hard Drives - Data recovery boards

arnt there companies out there that shred drives that would pay you for them or take them for free, they have to be making a killing on the scrap hard drive boards plus all the aluminum and stainless they generate? i would have a few guys tearing boards off and another one feeding the shredder

They don't take anything for free. They charge $10 per drive to do this. I looked into one of these and would have not way to recoup the costs of $18,000 for a small model... then you have to find a buyer for your mixed drive scrap....

I charge less, keep it local, and recycle all my waste locally.
