Title: What do recylers pay in your area for metals, electronics, etc ?
Post by: MovieMan on October 21, 2013, 09:37:21 PM
Probably a lot of variation by state and even within a state?

In my area tvs, computer towers and monitors bring 6 cents a pound.

That's about the only thing I recycle from lockers or crate loads I get.

I live in a pretty remote town, the recyclers here know it, so they don't pay much. I get probably half or less what I could get about an hour away, just never have enough to justify the fuel cost, as for the items you mentioned, they won't pay a cent for them, if they will even take them, fortunately our local dump takes them for free and there is also 1 or 2 ewaste drop offs. i hope to move soon, maybe where I move to will have better rates.
