If it were me, I would find two refiners that I felt comfortable with after initial contact and send them both the same type of boards. Have a rep at both places during processing, and have a independent assay done of the material. From there you can compare the two and hopefully make a decision on who your refiner will be for your future scrap.



Really? With all due respect, was that sort of reply even necessary?

Conrad comes on here asking advice for a start up ewaste business. I think the #1 success factor to any business is to figure out it's competitive advantage whatever it may be and focus on that. You can learn something new every day...
