Hello everyone,

I'm new to e-scrap and scrapping in general. Via F.R.E.D., I have determined most all of the grades of things I am going to be shipping in. However, I have a question about a couple of boards that I pulled out of one of my old UPSes. F.R.E.D. identified them both as mid grade boards, which is labeled in the legend as potential cleaning. So, my assumption from that is that I'd be removing the numerous heat sinks and transformers from these two boards. At least, this is what I have seen in some other threads where cleaning is concerned. Also, I have since removed the cables from and dusted the larger board. Any idea whether removing things would actually improve the grade on these boards (and what the possible or likely new grade might be after that cleaning)? Any help is appreciated!

I guess I could see the green board going low peripheral maybe but the brown board I'm just so used to them being either low or mid-grade boards any my local scrap yard pays $0.25/lb. for them here locally, so I just toss them all into that pile really...

could be wrong, possibly am, but that is where I'd put them at.

Good luck
