I remove integrated circuits from my low grade boards along with motors and alum heat sinks. Ewaste buyers will currently buy them for 6.00 a lb at least. But that's it, I've tried looking online for other items such as capacitors. I know they are made of alum but the only buyer I was able to find wanted tons of them, literally, and they were only paying .12 cents a lb thats only 2-3 cents more then what low grade boards sell for its not worth the time IMO.
