Hey everyone, I would like to find some places in or near Clark County, Nevada that pay money for E-scrap. Since I and my dad are in the computer repair business, we sometimes come across some PC's that are not worth repairing, but I don't know of anyone in the area that pays for gold scrap. I have been reading on here for a while but have recently decided that it would not be worth it to try and process the scrap myself.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings Hosef!

I am a local who processes scrap, however at a personal level. I can pick up your scrap, and provide you a return after I've dismantled what you supply and deliver it to the scrap dealer I work with.

I do not have alot of time to go into the actual harvesting of precious metal bearing content from the electronics you provide, however I do have some time, which if you provide quality materials, I can provide payments for them after I harvest the materials worth harvesting (silver-mica capacitors, monolithic capacitors and resistors, CPU and south bridge componants, drive, board and card pins, board and card connectors, memory and card slot pins, etc.) and then get accurate weights on what's actually harvested... which I will provide data on both harvested material weights (broken down by material types, current market values on PM types minus contaminant alotments... which, just to let you know, are considerable) and scrap deliveries.

I will accept whatever you wish to recycle, with the exception of plastics, which only pays 8 cents per pound and isn't worth my time. That means that if you have other scrap types such as phone and networking equipment/ lines, Audio/ Video equipment/ lines, and any other form of electronic equipment from solar powered calculators, cell phones, and/ or gaming console/ hand held video gaming system/ cartridges on up to aircraft navigation systems (lol... ok, maybe a computer repair service isn't into aircraft navigation, but you get my point), I process them as well.

I don't know if you have done any research into this or not, but I have so I will just explain the issues Nevada faces with escrap, and it's recovery.

As you are by now quite aware of, governments across the board are scrambling to discover ways to increase their income potentials through various forms of taxable and regulatory legislations which practically impoverish anyone venturing to profit from certain ventures - especially ventures that impact the environment directly. escrap has been documented to both contain materials that are toxic to our environment, as well as are processed for their PM values that too, have a negative impact on the environment IF NOT PRACTICED SAFELY, utilising methods and standards that protect the environment.

The government, as recently as last year, wants you to understand that involvement in processes involving toxicity levels that can threaten environments are being watched, which now will add additional costs to a recovery venture to pay for the government's effort to catch you violating thier new rules, so that they can then take the rest of anything you've profited from (or for that matter, anything left which was needed to keep your business afloat) in the form of fines, levies, and fees...

This is the very reason, why the State of Nevada has no escrap operations. Nevada is formemost and the front lining proponant of such legislations, making private escrap operations a venture that will slam you into the dirt almost immediately.

Private, undocumented operators however can still utilise scrap dealers to recover metal values from escrap parts, while processing known SMD values harvested from the electronics in private, which is something I do, outside of my mining environment, which is currently at a minimal operating level due to my need to employ a processing operator.

Let me know if I can assist you by sending me your contact information via private message.

While I agree with what DarkspARCS says, we buy old computers ('complete', i.e., no scavenging) starting around 10.5 cents a pound (price varies directly on the gold price, but centers around there).

We stockpile them until there's enough to dismantle, then strip everything down, destroy the hard drive and sell the parts.

If you want to strip them down first, we have pricing on all that as well.

Final pricing is 'enhanced' by larger loads so the more you bring in at once, the higher price we pay per pound.

We also buy gold and silver coins, bullion and jewlery.

Let me know what you have and we are happy to work with you.

We are located in the NW - near Santa Fe Station Casino
