- skholinnWe’re building a robotics system that recovers reusable electronic components from retired hardware. To run experiments we’re looking to buy electronics that are *retired or obsolete but still contain valuable components*.Examples:* servers, networking gear, routers, switches * laptops / workstations * telecom / industrial / embedded boards * lab equipment electronics * obsolete or end-of-life hardware with populated PCBsWe’re especially interested in hardware that *is no longer useful as a system but still has valuable chips or components on the boards*.Typical pricing depends on the hardware, but we often pay *$20–$200+ per unit* for things like servers, networking gear, or laptops depending on what’s inside. Happy to buy bulk lots.Based in the Bay Area; we can arrange pickup locally or pallet shipping within the US.If you run ITAD, recycling, refurbishment, repair, or have retired hardware sitting around, email:sava@dayworkx.comEven rough descriptions like “a pallet of old switches” are helpful.
- jollymonATXSo I send in massive 60 drive jbod pcbs and you pay me more than 55c/lb? That's current clean pcb rate at any recycler. Boards are ~8lbs ea. Usually just tossing them unstripped to a muncher that pays 35c/lb for the whole 55lb jbod works out way better for time labor.
- userbinatorChina has been doing this sort of recycling for literally decades, at a massive scale.
- jarbusThis is really cool. In the demo, how do they just yank the chip off the board? I'd have assumed it would be somehow soldered on or something.
- AndreasKromannAwesome concept !
