Electrical and electronic scrap

Panels, switchgear and boards.

What we accept

Panels, switchgear and boards. Material is weighed and graded on arrival at our yard in Mina Abdallah.

Panels and switchgear are mostly copper and steel

An electrical panel is busbar, wiring and steel enclosure. It is assessed on what can be recovered from it rather than on its overall weight.

Boards assessed separately

Circuit boards are kept apart from panels and switchgear and assessed on inspection.

Boards are graded by what is on them

Printed circuit boards are graded on how densely they are populated. A densely populated board is worth a multiple of a bare or lightly populated one of the same weight.

Panels and switchgear

Switchgear and distribution panels carry copper busbar, cable and contactors inside a steel enclosure. They are assessed on the copper recovered set against the steel it arrives in.
