The shredder costs money to run...you will not get dry transformer price for PSUs, if you do I've got a truckload to send your way.



I have never gotten more than .23/lb for PSUs, and that's because of those big caps inside it. In Wisconsin, they aren't even supposed to shred those. This doesn't have alot of logic to it since there's nothing toxic in an Electrolytic cap...not since like 197x. But the DNR manages the facility practices for that stuff.

Think about this, I'm all about maximizing scrap. With spare time I will maximize scrap in the order of highest turnover value. That means depop of low value boards is always first, as it can triple or even quadruple my take. Next is stripping hard drives, then opticals, then PSUs... anything not mentioned is already a mandatory strip. If you have employees who are occassionally idle these are the things they should be doing. There is a profit there that's all I'm really saying. In fact I'm going to start asking around for people with free weekends or days off who want to make ten bucks an hour breaking stuff.
