Recently I discovered that different pricing by weight for sending packages via: USPS. I guess I just always assumed that dimension was the only metric that played a role in shipping until you reach the max weight. In hindsight, I realize that I came to this conclusion without consulting the critical thought department in my brain.

Anyways, running with the logic that the price is solely dependent upon the dimension of the package I figured that if I could create more room for other items per shipment, I would be increasing my bottom line for that particular invoice. So for my mixed wired I would cut up to sizes no longer than 3" during down time. It then dawned on me. I don't know what the process is for recovery/recycling with wire. Going even further, I have a vague understanding of the path any material will be on once I sell it off.

[b]So my question for BS is, are there materials that can be broken down too far? For boards, is it acceptable to segment a board like a desktop MB or other larger boards?[/b] Obviously, I can see someone's face getting red with anger if someone were to send in a bag full of copper dust, but what about if someone had a grinder and sent in a bag of chips? I know this is barely a legitimate topic to discuss but I also realize I am not smart enough to be the first to come up with an idea.
