Circuit Board Recovery & Recycling Service UK
As precious metal prices continue to rise, Solder Flow Recycling can offer excellent returns on your unwanted PCBs (printed circuit boards), electronic components and surplus electronic inventory.
Circuit boards of all sizes are found across billions of devices worldwide, from smartphones and small electronic devices to desktop computers, industrial equipment and larger electronic systems. Many contain recoverable precious metals and other valuable materials.
We pay competitive prices for semiconductors, electronic components, excess inventory and printed circuit boards for precious metal recovery. Our circuit board recycling prices are based on the type, quantity and recoverable material contained within your electronic scrap.
Which precious metals can be recovered from electronic components?
The main precious metals recovered from electronic components include gold, palladium and silver. Copper and other valuable metals can also be recovered from suitable electronic materials.
Types of electronic components we buy for recycling:
We purchase many types of active electronic components including ICs, controllers, CPUs and microprocessors in formats such as DIP, SOIC, SOJ, QFP, PLCC, LCC, PGA and BGA, along with many other package types.
We also purchase suitable passive components, whether loose, removed from equipment or retained in original manufacturer packaging.
PCBs vary considerably in their precious metal content. Some contain relatively small quantities, while others contain significantly more recoverable material and can therefore have a much higher recycling value. This is where Solder Flow Recycling's specialist circuit board recovery service can help.
With precious metal prices remaining valuable, efficient circuit board recycling can provide excellent returns on unwanted, obsolete and scrap circuit boards.
Because the value of circuit boards depends on their type, grade, quantity and precious metal content, it can be difficult to provide an accurate valuation without first assessing the material. Contact Solder Flow Recycling with details or photographs of your circuit boards and electronic scrap and we can advise on the next steps and potential recovery value.
We offer competitive prices for many types of computer parts and electronic components. Whether you have old processors, circuit boards, electronic cards or surplus components, contact us to discuss the material you would like to recycle.
