Computer plastic and laptop lcd buyer

Hello I am looking to find a plastic buyer for plastic from computer cases, monitors and printers. Im not sure if anyone buys it? Im also wondering what people do with laptop lcd screens. I know they contain a long narrow board on the back side of the screen that has some gold plate but will anyone buy the whole screen.(would that board on the back be considered high grade motherboard price wise) Some of them contain mercury bulbs, guess Im just trying to see what other people ae doing with them and to see if anyone knows a plastic buyer near jacksonville, forida. thx

Those boards on the screens are mother board grade, at least to my buyer they are. Seems like everybody is looking for a plastic buyer.

thanks for the replies finding a company that buys plastic isn't easy lol I would have thought the lcd boards would have payed more than high motherboard but Im new to the game

LCD boards? Do you mean LCD Screen?

That would be nice. I'd rather not send it to the dump guess ill keep stock piling and hope I find a yard before i run out of space.

If I had the money to buy a bailer and a place to store enough ABS plastic I would start buying it. Everybody I talk to is looking to get rid of thiere plastic.

Where do you live? It could be helpful to others on the forum.

I live in San Jose California. There is a lot of e-waste recycling here. Maybe because It's in Silicon Valley. I'd give the name of the place or the web site, but I think that doing that might be against form rules. If anyone wants it they can message me, or just find it through Google like I did.

You need more posts before we can message you or you anyone for that matter.

Not sure why you couldn't name a recycling center..we do it all the time with scrap yards, an well..recycling companies.

I thought that naming the place might go against the no advertising rule. My mistake I'm still really new here. The place is called DRG Recycling inc. There're lots of places around me that take scrap metal, e-waste and CRV(California Redemption Value) items, but so far DRG is the only one that I've found that give money for scrap plastic and paper. They told me that they give 100 dollars a ton for cardboard which seems pretty high for cardboard based of what I've read on the forms so far. I wonder if they are talking about loose cardboard or baled cardboard.

No worries Evan, better to be safe then sorry when it comes to the rules.

Yards get mentioned as do other recycling companies rather often, don't think it falls into advertising in that manner or in the way you shared their info.

Thanks for sharing the name though! You just might have helped out someone looking for such a place!
