What did you scrap?

[Dr. Cadmium]

Do you snip the tantalum capacitors off of motherboards, etc.? I'm assuming that someone who buys circuit boards would buy these capacitors- is that who you sell to?

I get thousands of lbs of boards, and I snip and save the larger tantalum caps to sell to this company: http://www.tantalumrecycling.com/

Modern desktop boards contain little to no tantalum caps. I get most of mine from older server/telecom and machinery boards. Late 1990s and older.

Had to clean off my car trailer to get ready to haul in a huge load of copper. Went in early Saturday morning and they were closed, went to the “other” place and had 3950 pounds of shred steel and got 110 per ton.

I only have Saturdays to haul stuff in so it had to go.
