Electronic Scrap

Selling Electronic Scrap to Refiners

Manufacturers of electronics as well as businesses which use large electronic systems can offset the expense of discarding faulty units or replacing obsolete equipment by selling electronic scrap to refiners who specialize in precious metals. In circuit boards and other electronic equipment, a fair amount of precious metals such as gold and palladium are used, and these materials are needed by refiners who turn old scrap into bullion for resale.

Getting Paid for Electronic Scrap

When you sell electronic scrap to refiners, you may be able to select either payment in cash or payment in bullion. If you work with bullion in your line of work, this could be a helpful way to acquire the materials you need in part. When having electronic scrap refined, you will need to pay small fees for processes such as assessment and any treatments which materials may require. Metals which refiners accept include gold, silver, platinum, palladium and titanium.
