Yes- as KSS said "stack it up" - e recycling is about quantity . Check the buyers forum for "better than scrap" if you have newer stuff- a few buyers there , also check Ewasted for scrap. He's a member here so I support him - way better than boardsort. Shipping ( LTL - less than truckload) for me is expensive from CT so you have to do some math to make sure you have enough in the load to cover the shipping and make it worth your effort. Try and get a mix of around 1600 lbs on a pallet and you'll do OK . Last one I sent to Ewasted was 1900lbs - I started out years ago sending in via Fedex in 65 lb boxes at about 25$ per box but when I got to the point of sending more than 3 or 4 boxes I became busy enough to move to pallet loads and never looked back. If you never get that much then concentrate on the higher value stuff like memory, MB, HD boards, finger cards etc and you'll probably be OK with FedEx. Dont pack low value into the box - it'll eat up weight and space and wont give you a good return if any.
Hope this helps, go out there and collect all you can .... good luck
