How to Scrap old Cell Phones for *Gold Recovery

cellular-webs 41 Comments July 12, 2016July 6, 2016 General

Click Here for Top notch smartphone accessories.

Short video showing how and what to scrap in old cell phones and prepare them for gold and other precious metals recovery.

Also see the USGS pdf report "Recycled Cell Phones—A Treasure Trove of Valuable Metals" (2006):

But do not forget to adjust the prices to gold's current value.

The report suggests an avarage gold content of 0.034g per cell phone:
At 2005 – 0.034g was worth 0.4$
At todays prices (1700$ an ounce) – 0.034 is worth 1.85$

Will scrapping cell phones make you rich? probably not.
But it will make you some extra cash.

———————————————————————

I have made this short list for US citizens who wants to sell scrap electronics. You can contact these following scrap buyers:

Gold Chip Buyer –
Relectrocycle –
CashforComputerScrap –
Mike, South Eastern Ohio – (740)350-1272

I have hand picked these scrap buyer as i know they are very honest and stright forward.
I did not receive any incentive nor will i receive any future commision from these scrap buyers. I'm happy to put their links here as i believe they are trustworthy and will treat you fairly.

I was not aware that there’s gold nuts in some cell phones. Are they
expensive or how much is the value of it in the market today?

Shahe Rubaina - posted on February 16, 2016 12:52 pm

less than a quarter ounce in a whole cell phone.

+Shahe Rubaina 1/4 ounce? Try again, not even close. At the end of the
video when he showed all the boards and parts, COMBINED you wouldn’t have
1/4 ounce.
1/4 ounce per phone would be almost $300 to $400 per phone. NOT!

+Shahe Rubaina I think it was plated gold. So not much I would assume

I think if you took it too a goldsmith for it too get melted down could
possibly get them to make you something with the gold or pay cash for what
you give them as long as it’s worth value 🙂
