Main Business Activities

Electronic Scrap Purchasing

We purchase eligible electronic scrap and recyclable electronic components based on item type, condition, completeness, weight, recoverable material content, and current market value.

Common materials may include:

• Desktop and server motherboards

• Laptop logic boards

• HDD SATA and Non-SATA controller boards

• RAM and computer memory

• CPUs and processors

• Cellphone circuit boards

• Telecom and networking boards

• Industrial control boards

• Power supplies

• Computer components

• Server Scrap 

• Other eligible electronic equipment and circuit boards

• Whole Desktop Scrap

 Acceptance and purchasing values are determined after inspection.

On-Site Inspection and Classification

Materials brought to the Richmond yard are inspected according to their category, condition, and composition. The evaluation may consider:

• Material type

• Board or component category

• Completeness

• Missing components

• Physical damage

• Contamination

• Sorting quality

• Total weight

• Current commodity and downstream market conditions

Final classification and purchasing value are confirmed by yard staff after physical inspection. Online information and image-based identification should be treated as preliminary guidance rather than a guaranteed quotation.

Commercial and Business Purchasing

Ohata Resource Canada Inc. works with local businesses that regularly generate electronic scrap, including:

• Computer repair businesses

• electronics repair shops

• IT service providers

• Data-centre service companies

• Manufacturers

• Warehouses

• Demolition and renovation contractors

• Property-management companies

• Schools and institutions

• Other recycling businesses

Businesses with recurring quantities may contact the Richmond yard to discuss material preparation, sorting requirements, delivery arrangements, and possible pickup services. Pickup availability may depend on material type, quantity, location, and scheduling.

How the Selling Process Works

1. Check the material category
   Customers may review item descriptions, reference photos, and available buying information on Ohata.ai before visiting.

2. Prepare and separate the materials
   Keeping similar items together can simplify inspection and may support a more accurate purchasing evaluation.

3. Bring the materials to the Richmond yard
   Walk-in customers are generally welcome during regular business hours without an appointment.

4. Material inspection
   Yard staff inspect the material’s type, condition, completeness, weight, and sorting quality.

5. Classification and weighing
   Accepted materials are classified and weighed using the applicable purchasing category.

6. Purchasing value confirmation
   The final value is calculated using the confirmed category, weight, condition, and current purchasing price.

7. Transaction completion
   The transaction is completed according to company procedures and applicable identification, recordkeeping, and payment requirements.

Material Condition Guidelines

For a smoother inspection, customers are encouraged to:

• Separate different circuit-board.

• Keep original components attached when possible

• Avoid mixing electronic scrap with garbage or hazardous material

• Remove excessive dirt, liquid, oil, and unrelated attachments

• Avoid unnecessary cutting, drilling, burning, or dismantling

• Keep SATA and Non-SATA HDD boards separated

• Separate power supplies from other electronic scrap

• Contact the yard before delivering an unusually large or mixed load

Complete and properly sorted materials may qualify for a more accurate or higher purchasing value. Missing chips, removed connectors, cut boards, fire damage, corrosion, contamination, or mixed material can reduce value. Severely damaged, unsafe, or prohibited items may not be accepted.

• Identify electronic scrap from photographs

• Compare circuit-board categories

• Understand common value factors

• Review buying-condition guidelines

• Learn how to sort materials

• Locate the Richmond yard
