Scrapping 36lbs of circuit boards: How much more MONEY DID I MAKE REMOVING THE COPPER AND ALUMINUM? 

I recently found a paper by the California EPA that goes over the carbon emission reductions for aluminum, steel, and other recyclables. After going through some of the weights from my recent scrapyard runs, the numbers are kind of astonishing. Every unit of pure aluminum reduces 12.9 times its weight in CO2, steel is at 1.5 times. It didn't mention cans, but the standard 70% recovery can just be applied to the 12.9 to reach a rough number. My recent scrapyard run was 200 lbs of steel, which reduces 300 lbs of CO2. The average car puts out about 10k lbs of CO2, but if you combine all of my recent scrapyard runs it comes out to about 3-4k. Is it a huge huge amount? No, but it's in the same ballpark, making it well worth doing, and I'm sure someone who's done it longer could do better than I, especially with bigger loads. Pretty cool stuff.

Note prices have changed since I recorded: #2 copper $5.25lb, extrusion: $1.29lb and clean aluminum $0.75lb

The copper doughnuts are called inductors.

Have you tried putting your silver connectors in Nitric yet?

Yes I definitely take everything I can off those green boards.i make way more money that way

Do you subscribe to any trusted groups that buy and sell circuit board pieces? Eg. Ceramic coated silver. Thank you. Your guidance has been appreciated.
