    Based on the RAM cards, average gold content could be quite high 1.5 to 3.75 gm / kilogram. Which suggests your 186 kgs of RAM has somewhere between $27,000 to $67,750 contained gold. That's not including the rest of your circuit boards and trashed computers. I would seriously be looking at setting up a mini gold extraction system, you have the volume of materials to pay for a set up.

    Hi Ben. Dieter here in Brisbane, now 2 and a half years in to our recycle business, we are still working at getting more clients. We went fulltime 2 months ago but still finding it hard to make ends meet. Prices here are not as good as you have in Melbourne.
    Wearenowin theprocess of getting our e-waste recycle certification ISO 5377. so we can get into the government circles as it is very competitive and closed shop here in Queensland, no certification no product. As they want to keep there finger on where all the e-waste goes. There are a lot of re-sellers here.
    We do not re-sell any of the material we pickup, we pull it all appart and then sell the metals and store the rest for a later prossesing plant we hope to develope over the next 8 years.
    But all thanks to watching your videos back 3 years ago. Thanks mate.

    Recycling is awesome, however seeing so many thinkpads get scrapped hurts the soul. Many of the laptops shown are worth nothing but so many thinkpad, even broken, are collectors peices because repair is just so easy on those older models. The IBM Thinkpads (not lenovo) are vintage and highly saught after. I'd pay 30quid for one that doest even boot. The Lenovo ones a little less but still worth more their weight in scrap by a hefty margin. People make their rent just on repairing and flipping those masterpieces alone.
    Regardless keep up the good work.
