I have a 10lbs bag and another 8-10lbs still on motherboards waiting to be depopulated. Not sure if I'm gonna hold out to send in all at once or send a 5lbs sample to test for return $. I've never actually sent anything to boardsort so I was planning a test run of IC's, full ram sticks and gold fingers and pins.
Company I work for let's me depopulate boards as much as I want. but they want the boards to send out as waste for a certificate of destruction and show that the eWaste is being disposed of properly. EWate comes in small bits at a time, but copper wire is a banker box per week.
I use heat to pull the bridge controllers off the motherboards. I wait until the weather is nice so I can do it outside. Plus I use a plywood box with a cutout for a box fan on the back to direct the fumes away and still use a full face cartridge respirator. Overly cautious!!
