The business firm I work for is interested in getting in the recycling business. Does anyone have suggestions for resources about recycling components, such as what all can be retrieved from pcb's or hard drives and the like? Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I know you can recover the gold from PCBs but unless you're set up for it and doing it industrially it's a LOT more hassle than it's worth (there's a few old thread on it in the forums here and there). I don't think harddrives have anything of value on them except possibly the data.

Though i'd always willingly take old components to make more dino-puters. :) Too bad i'm in Ohio.
