The screens have rare earth minerals associated with them.
I have been looking into how viable it might be to refine rare earth minerals, and may take a stab at it in the next year or two. I know of a few other people interested in the same sideline. As rare earth minerals become more and more difficult to source, the value of this type of scrap will only increase. It's like money in the bank if you have the space to store them until people start to refine rare earth minerals.
I believe in the future a considerable amount of rare earth minerals that are used in industry are going to come from recycle sources. If you took silver as an example, 40% of all the silver used in manufacturing in the United States comes from recycled material. If not for recycled silver, the industry that relies on silver in the United States would come to a grinding halt.
