Your scrap boards contain gold, silver, copper, and palladium, and most sellers never see the full value of what they’re holding. From production fallout to obsolete inventory, CJD pays top dollar based on current commodity pricing.

Urban mining is reshaping how the electronics industry thinks about e-waste. Circuit boards in computers, servers, networking equipment, and industrial controls contain a dense concentration of recoverable precious metals, but most buyers aren’t transparent about how they grade boards or what they actually pay for them.
CJD’s electronic circuit board recycling program is built on the opposite principle: we grade across multiple categories, price against current commodity values, and document every transaction so you always know where your payout comes from.
Whether you’re dropping off locally or coordinating a larger shipment, our team is ready to assess your material and get you a fair offer.
Not all circuit boards carry the same value, and the range of sellers who bring boards to CJD reflects that diversity. From a solo recycler with a box of stripped servers to a manufacturer processing a full run of production rejects, our PCB recycling program is built to handle both ends of the spectrum without compromising on grading accuracy or payout transparency.
We purchase circuit board material across all grades and forms, from PCB assemblies and populated boards to industrial controls, power supplies, telecom hardware, test boards, engineering prototypes, and returned RMAs. Boards are graded on intake to ensure accurate printed circuit board recycling pricing across every material type. We also accept circuit board disposal loads from manufacturers managing large-format cleanouts or end-of-life equipment cycles.
The highest-value circuit board material typically comes from manufacturers and industrial operations: industrial automation companies, controls integrators, panel shops, SMT and PCB assembly houses, fire and security equipment manufacturers, medical device companies, telecom equipment providers, aerospace electronics firms, and OEM repair depots. Solo recyclers, small shops, and reverse logistics companies with mixed loads are equally welcome. Whether you’re a one-time seller or an ongoing operation, CJD works with clients of every scale across Metro St. Louis and beyond.
Bring your boards to our Edwardsville facility or contact us to arrange a pickup for larger loads. Pull into our drive-through and our team assesses and grades boards on-site, providing a quote based on current e-waste prices. For complex or mixed loads that include full assemblies, our demanufacturing team extracts components before processing. For high-volume circuit board recycling from manufacturers or facility cleanouts, sorting and processing services handle the volume. Minimum weight requirements apply. Contact us for details before your first drop-off.
