Hello all, I am a pretty new scrapper, and have been doing lots of research on metals, e-waste, and the forums here. I don't think I've found any information relating to AC adapters, like those you'd see with laptops. The male USB-C would go into connector ends, the wire with everything cut off the ends is mixed wire, but what about the transformer/power brick? Does Boardsort accept the power bricks? See image for example.

I think it is just a power adapter, at 35 cents per pound with wire, 20 without wire. No "brick" category as such, but the brick is just an oversized AC adapter.

Boardsort buys them as AC adapter but if you're shipping you will probably lose money. You can crack them open for low grade boards or transformers. If you have a local yard, they often buy them as "wall warts".
