I'm a tech-packrat. Eventually I have to purge hardware that I can no longer find useful and need to make storage room for newer stuff. Everything goes in one quick drop. Disposal of block Styrofoam is a huge bonus!

So why are you not paying your customers for their valuable electronics and only charging them? Precious metals like gold, palladium ($1,500 an ounce), platinum, silver and a list of others are abundant in the circuit boards you receive

Matthew Brown | Jan 27, 2020
Earth Friendly Recycling (Owner) | Jan 28, 2020

We don't charge to drop off any items. We offer a service for those that want their items picked up for a modest fee. While all the precious metals do eventually get recovered downstream, the trace amounts of precious metals contained within some electronic items do not add to the value of the material substantially. The proper handling, and recycling of every material received (not just the precious metals) is our goal.
