The pics I put are flouro ballasts HID ballasts are a lot bigger.

The flouro ballasts return about 100 gms Copper each, and a lot of clip...

I can get a bunch of the black ones should think I am gonna go back and take them apart I could use some more copper

This is a pic of one I pulled apart.

I am new to the forum and I need help with ballasts to include the non-PCB 4' florescent to the MH/HPS type. My friend owns a lighting retrofit company and has contracts both large and small across the US. I am needing the name of an individual or company who would be able to collect/scrap the items.
This could be lucritive for all involved. The major roadblock is that the jobs are nationwide and I am not able to go to each jobsite to scrap the material.

Any info would be appreciated.
