You have a batch of boards to clear — we take it as it is
A batch of circuit boards is not priced like a single part. What sets the price is the mix: the share of high-yield boards, the share of low-value ones, and how much foreign material — steel, plastics, cables — travels with them. That mix is what we quote, not a market average.
RECYNEW buys board lots from every origin: IT dismantling, end-of-line industrial production, warranty returns, dormant repair-shop stock, inventory clear-outs from treatment centres. From a single box to a full skip — there is no minimum quantity.
What a batch may contain
- Motherboards — desktop, laptop, server. See our motherboard buyback prices per kilo.
- Gold-connector boards — backplanes, rack cards, tester boards, engineering boards.
- Low-value boards — power supplies, flat-screen boards, peripheral boards.
- Daughter boards — graphics, network, controller, sound.
- Unsorted mixed lots — we grade them on arrival, against our circuit board price list.
If your batch also holds loose components or complete equipment, tell us: they are valued separately, and usually higher. See IT components per kilo and complete equipment.
How we price your batch
- You describe the batch: board types, estimated weight, packaging (loose, big-bags, wrapped pallets), photos. Photos are usually enough to establish the grade.
- We quote within 48 working hours, against our published price lists. Our prices are public, not negotiated case by case: you can check our offer before you even call.
- We arrange collection — see our transport terms. Freight cost is quoted and stated before collection, never discovered afterwards.
- Joint weighing and grading on arrival at our treatment site — see how reception works. You get the weight per grade before payment.
- Payment once the weighing is agreed.
Why our prices hold on a whole batch
We are not a middleman: what we buy, we process. Reusable boards go to reuse, the rest to materials recovery. That second outlet is what lets us pay above smelter price on a mixed lot — a trader who only resells to the refinery cannot follow on the middle grades.
RECYNEW is a WEEELABEX-certified centre and operates under the permits required to treat WEEE.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum quantity?
No. A single box is handled like a pallet: the same price list applies, only the collection arrangement differs.
Do the boards need sorting first?
No. A pre-graded batch is quoted more precisely and faster, but we accept loose material and grade it on arrival, with the weight per grade shared before payment.
Do you buy boards still fitted inside equipment?
Yes, but they are not priced from this list: a complete server or PC is quoted as complete equipment, usually above its board weight.
What if the batch contains data carriers?
Hard drives and SSDs are handled separately, with certified erasure and a GDPR report on request. See business drive buyback with data erasure.
Do you collect outside France?
Yes, we arrange collections across Europe. Freight is quoted case by case according to volume and distance, and stated before collection.
