When I'm in a hurry, I will just throw a slot processor against the cement floor. Easy way to separate plastic from the processor board. If I'm in a hurry I have to sweep anyway.
Okay, I need to get straight about something, as they are piling up rather quick.
When it comes to CD/DVDROM drives and hard drives, they all get stripped? Meaning, you take out the green boards, and shred the rest, right?
If the Hard Drives are 80gb or more, then they may be resellable via ebay, craigslist, buyers on here, etc?
Yep, I sell the boards then the rest gets broke down and sold, but if your going to deliver a load to a buyer then use that stuff for "filler" to finish off the load.When it comes to CD/DVDROM drives and hard drives, they all get stripped?

Thanks for explaining.
I recently found out that the yard I go to here in my town, their main plant is in DC which is like 45 minutes from me.
It is not saying that they would get all my product, but the stuff that would cost an arm and a leg to ship, they will get for sure.
George dont know if you realize that in addition to removing boards from the cd/dvd drives there are little motors in each one as well. Also those power supplies go as elect mtr at the yard. If there is a question about them open one up and show it to the person at the yard.

NEWBS READ THIS THREAD ABOUT REFINING!!!!

I knew when I destroyed one of these that there had to be a trick to removing the heatsink. Now I know for "next time."
This board is excellent. Thanks for the tutorial, AJR.
Thanks brasscatcher, never thought about treating it as an electric motor before, but you are right. When I am ready to turn them in, I will see which of the 2 yards can give the better price. Unfortunately, until I become bigger with more space, that is one thing that I wont be sending to a buyer on here.
As I am sure shipping would be ridiculous.
I am a bit confused on something.
Do buyers only buy cell phones IF they come with the cell phone board?
I would think that without the boards they are worthless. Wy not throw them in with some empty computer cases. A lot of the the towers I break down have plastic faces on them. I reattach them and they go to the yard. Never been stopped from doing it. You could probably shove in three or four in each case they are so small.
George, I think what that means is he'll accept either 1) a whole cell phone or 2) a board from a cell phone. It doesn't follow that there would necessarily have to be a third catagory (e.g., a cell phone without a board).
CLR can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this makes sense.
