Ask and you shall get!

I have started electronic recycling. I tear apart old computers and electronics and pull out the circuit boards and anything that has gold on it. When I get enough I will figuer out what to do with it. Some people refine it themselves and some turn around and sell it to people who do the refining.

When I hit yardsales I have started asking if the want to get rid of old electronics and save them from the dump. I started at 7AM and by 8:30 my car was full. After I got home around noon it took me hours to tear down everything. I now have over 10-15 pounds of circuit board and 95% have gold on them.

Dan, you never cease to supprise me. With all you got going, garage sales, swap meets, e-bay, coinrolls, etc., etc., you still have time to take on a new task. good for you.

I have to, my daughter goes to Cal Poly (no not SLO, she got wait listed there) and Pomona has hinted fees are going up again.

Do you just scrape the gold off the contacts?

No, strong acids are used. I do not plan on doing this myself, my workshop is not equipped for this. If I did use the acids my widow would be able to use your icon.

I am just accumulating these for now. I will look for a buyer who will do the dirty work.
