The bulk of what I have are "telecom" boards. Probably between 25 and 30lbs. I know not a huge sum but would like it all to be recycled vs landfilled. And best dollar for my material is a plus. I do a bit of "scrapping" as a hobby but never e waste.

My Google drive (I just realized my pics are not "in order" scroll till you see the numbered pics for "grading" purposes. The others simply show detail and misc items. Feel free to comment on those if you wish.

I also pictured a few other misc items I have. The CPUs are functional as is the ram. Should I send it all as is? Cut the fingers? Put it all in one box and hope for the best?

What say ye? And thank you in advance.

The i7 and 8GB DDR3 sticks can be sold individually for more than scrap value so I wouldn't put those in with everything else.

Anything with a transformer or steel or other large components on it is gonna be low grade telco

The anything with gold cap ICs are gold cap boards (better than high grade telco)

Thoughts on boards with ICs only, no gold or other components?

I have yet to find buyers for individual components. I've asked and posted. No takers. Want it all gone

i7 should be something you can send in for the test and buy program.

From the picture it looks like a i7-9700 and they are worth $40.
