The so called end users here in the US are dropping like fly's....There are quite a few primary smelters here in the US however behind the scenes while they have the capability to operate like a primary smelter they are not. They are operating in the secondary markets and exporting to less stringently regulated EU and asian primaries. The demand for physical metals in these countries is through the roof even though it isnt reflected in the current commodity markets. So you can have your stuff assayed all day long here in the US but if you could really see the writing on the wall you would be quite shocked. Your e-waste is getting exported by quite a few so-called end users. The rest of the middlemen are sorting and separating for anything of market value and its fire and forget on the scrap side. Theres a bit of a decoupling happening in the certification world and exporting has been given quite a bad name. I dont do it currently but I know exactly where my ewaste is going after it hits its "end user".
