    As a general rule all plastic with the recycle logo on it can be recycled. If it says ABS on it you need to check with your local provider. Most of the stuff plastic were getting is ABS. The flat panel monitors should all have the recycle logo on there plastic parts. If your plastic has the recycle logo on it i wouldnt hesitate to put it in with the plastic at the local recycling center, and alot of times they sort the abs out of the regular plastics and resell it separately.

    ebay, thin ribbon cable double sided gold fingers. Remember not all fingers are created equal. There about 20 diff subtypes of fingers.

    Ive sold 1.4 ounces for $50 of the extremely thin solid plated stuff, thats $600 per pound. Solid plated goes for double of the finger rate or better.

    The lot in this picture went for $50 on ebay.
