Ewaste is really more about accumulating small amounts. Nickels,dimes and quarters ... that kind of thing. Go through enough material and it hopefully adds up to a little something.
Just a quickie survey of the pictures:
There are a couple of bubble backs there. Negative value.
A few sticks of RAM. Probably .20 - .25 ea for the full size ones.
Printers, generally little value. Lots of plastic to get rid of. Mostly not worth scrapping.
Stereos & stuff. Maybe a green board / maybe not. Maybe a little bit of copper & aluminum if the units feel heavy.
Phones, probably not much. Some business phones have a good green board. Consumer grade more likely to have a cheapo brown board. Maybe an IC chip or two.
Pentium 3 slot processor about 1.25 $ once the plastic and aluminum heatsink have been removed.
Pentium 3 motherboard roughly 3.50 - 4.00 $
Power supplies about .20 cents a pound if you have a buyer.
Misc. brown boards 5 cents a pound if you have a buyer.
Flat screen tv's & monitors. A green board or two. Mostly, a lot of plastic waste to get rid of.
Low grade computer wire about 5 cents a pound in this area.
Average finger card about 70 cents
Average CD/DVD board about 35 cents
Disclaimer:
Prices are just generalities to give you a rough idea of range. These are harvested prices. You still have to do all of the work of collecting the material, breaking it down, disposing of the waste, sorting the harvested boards for shipping, packing them up and so on.
And then there are shipping costs. Maybe figure 80 cents a pound on small loads. You can probably get that down to about 20 cents a pound by shipping by 1,000 pound pallet loads ?
It's just to give you a general sense of things.
