I just started recycling computers for a hobby, and I want to know if there are hazardous materials such as mercury in computers, where they are, and how to dispose of them.
Thanks,
Chris
 
When recovering Gold and other metals from semicondurtor packages and chips, you can expect a small amoutnt of Arsenic, as it is used as a dopant in the manufacture of the chips.
