Thanks Matt, I'd like to get the name of the company and/or your contact. I'm up in NJ so shipping the boards would be straightforward.

I'm holding only a little hope, though, because what I've read indicates that boards are not stripped, but shredded. The shreds are then melted, boiled, or otherwise separated into their base metals. You're right, the PCBs themselves are the most bulky and entirely wasted part of the process.

Larry, that's a great idea, so I'll try to track down failed, unpopulated boards. I doubt ASUS or whomever would talk to me, but perhaps there are large recyclers that they work with who receive the clean boards. They must be out there somewhere.

Thanks again!
