Recycling

Circuit board recycling recovers precious metals — gold, silver, palladium, platinum, and copper — from printed circuit boards (PCBs), motherboards, and electronic components. A ton of circuit boards contains more gold than a ton of gold ore.

2

Shredding

Boards shredded to liberate components and increase surface area for processing.

3

Refining

Precious metals extracted through smelting and chemical refining at licensed precious metal refiners. Gold, silver, palladium, platinum, and copper recovered.

High-grade boards (servers, telecom) contain 5-15+ grams of gold per ton. Consumer-grade boards contain 1-5 grams per ton. The gold is in connectors, IC pins, and plating. At $2,000+/oz, even small concentrations have value.

High-grade boards (servers, telecom, military) have more gold, silver, and palladium content. Low-grade boards (power supplies, consumer electronics) have less precious metal but still have copper value. We pay based on grade.

Yes. CPUs (especially older ceramic processors) and RAM modules have high precious metal content and are priced accordingly.

For commercial quantities (50+ lbs), we provide free pickup. Smaller quantities can be shipped or dropped off.
