...Are there some boards that would not be accepted at all (assuming they have not be purposely depopulated or damaged)?
The boards Boardsort refuse is a very short list
Banned items
Anything containing radioactive material (smoke detectors etc)
Anything containing Mercury (wetted relays, oxide tubes left on)
Anything treated with acids (gold or silver recovery)
Anything treated with a base (rare earth recovery)
(because I’m going to sticky this).
Bare plastic
Wood
Glass
Paper
(The sticky list more of practicality than reality. If you email Chris and let him know you intend to show up with 7 trailers worth of scrap and you happen to have 75000 lbs of pre-sorted bleached class B paper at 20lb weight and B texturing finish... he may be interested!
Aside from this list anything else will be purchased for something.
Even a bare brown board that was never finished will get /something/
Keep in mind if you ship 50lbs of steel cans they go as steel rate despite tin levels.
I’m positive Chris would be happy to pay for verifiable HCL, HML, TID, if you give home notice you’re bringing in more than 1/1000th of an ounce. But boardsort is an escrap company.
