Safely pack your materials in sturdy boxes with plenty of padding. We want everything to arrive in perfect condition. For orders over 20 lbs, we'll provide you with a prepaid shipping label — just print and drop off at your nearest carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge any hidden fees?

+

No. We don't charge any fees at all. For orders over 20 lbs, we provide prepaid shipping labels — we cover the cost. The price you see is the price you get. Our model is simple: we buy your scrap at fair market value, process it, and pay you transparently.

What if I disagree with the grade you assigned?

+

We negotiate. After you receive your breakdown with photos, you have the option to discuss the grade with our team. If you believe a board was undergraded or misclassified, we'll take another look. Our goal is fairness, not profit at your expense.

How long does the whole process take from shipment to payment?

+

Typically 5-10 business days from when we receive your shipment. We inspect and grade everything, send you a detailed breakdown for approval, and then process payment within 48 hours of your approval. Faster than most recyclers — and way faster than you'd expect.

What materials do you NOT accept?

+

We can't accept batteries (lithium or lead-acid), plastic housings without components, or large appliances like microwaves. We focus on e-scrap with valuable materials: circuit boards, CPUs, RAM, power supplies, metal components, and more. When in doubt, ask before shipping.
