I have some old LCD screens from old cellphones. They are not touchscreens. Do anybody have any ideas to sell or donate my LCDs?

Also, do LCDs have rare earth elements in them and are they valuable?

Scrap LCDs are pretty much worthless at the moment. Someone posted that they do contain iridium, but the cost of iridium recovery compared to the price of raw iridium extracted from a mine makes it cheaper to buy from a miner compared to a recycler. If you have these, dispose of them per your local environmental laws.

Or better yet hoard the mylar layers that contain the, I believe, indium. As was mentioned, cost to mine indium is cheaper than the cost of recovery. For now that is. Lithium ion batteries used to be worthless for scrap until mine able lithium sharply decreased. Now we sell li-ion batteries by the ton. Learn from the past and hoard soon to be scarce materials. The LCD layers are so incredibly thin that storing them couldn't be that bad. Send them to me if you really don't want them. I'm not willing to pay for shipping though. So no, other than betting on future indium supply, there's not much you can do to get rid of them for any profit. As a true scrapper I refuse to throw anything away. I'm a packrat of the worst type.
