Scrap Motherboards may be found in computers, servers, laptops, networking equipment etc. Motherboards usually have other materials such as memory, chips and wires connected to it.
The motherboard contains several components that are rich in precious metals. The board consists of several gold plated connectors and pins. The older motherboards such as the ones used in telecommunication equipment and server cabinets contain comparatively larger quantities of gold in them, thus making them worth more money. Newer manufacturing technologies use lesser quantity of precious metals. Still, motherboards are considered to be one of the most valuable part, scrapping of which will earn good money for you.
There are different grades of motherboards. Yards pay money based on the grade. It might be quite confusing to sort motherboards based on their grades. Still, it is advised that one may get in touch with scrap yards in his/her locality to know what their specific requirement is, so that the scrap can be sorted and shipped to their yard.
