Theres a place in Perth that buys escrap. They have good prices too.
If thats a bit far from you, theres 'Capital Scrap' in the ACT

I think thats pretty good pricing. From memory a normal Motherboard is a bit under 0.5Kgs ( i figure a Lb @ 454 grams.so AU $1.60 a Motherboard.

Since i have over 1000 Motherboards, i "should" get NZ$1700 just for the MB boards...lol.

This pricing should help you figure out how to seperate & class your escrap.
All batterys & extraneous metal should be removed. Metal CPU holders, 'tinsel' around the plugs on the boards, any Aluminium heatsinks,
On the slot cards, the metal strip that holds it in & the screws.
