I used to feel very antagonistic towards recyclers, since I saw them
as greedy sharks that would cheerfully smash any type of electronic
equipment or component, no matter how potentially useful, just for a few
cents worth of gold.
While I don't doubt that there are some who are like that, it strikes
me that they're likely only out there to make a living like the rest of
us. With that in mind, I think establishing positive relationships are
much more constructive.
I've attached a post from a recycler. He may or may not be willing to
sell useful and undamaged parts as well. Those who are interested, please
contact him directly.
