sigh....ok laptops can range from 4-15 (really old) pounds...part of that weight is the battery an d you should not have to pay that for the battery...pull them off and offer to take them for free (li ion is worth .40-.90/lb last I checked). that means you will be paying $1-$3.75 each. You will have a motherboard, ram, CPU, hard drive, cd drive and possibly a wifi card in each (assuming they are whole) that are sellable. If you can boot them (and sometimes even if you cant test) the screen can be sold sometimes on Ebay...same with the plug in power supplies (not always), if not the power supplies are scrappable.
Motherboad can weigh 10oz to 1 lb...some a bit more on older ones...ewasted pays a premium on those (something like $3/lb)....now you have some ram, some high value cards/finger boards. You can pull the hard drive board off if an older hard drive and sell it for like $10/lb and then the HD itself as scrap...cr drive for .25/lb (all these figures are about what I get for smaller quantities).
There it is broken down....it can take some time for some to break down and you better have some eyeglass screwdrivers.
See if that make sense for your time to be doing.
