In California, there is a surcharge of $10 for any tv/monitor that's 32+" and the price increase for larger tv (like $20 for 64+" or something).... There are quite a few e-Recycler/e-recycle event in my area, but I haven't found one that give you the most bang for your buck yet.

Do the monolithic and tantalum capacitors have a coating around the metal. Does anyone know how much these are worth an ounce, or how many it takes to make an ounce? I'm just a little bit curious.

For monolithic ceramic capacitors, there's a lot around the metal:  How many for an ounce...that all depends on the size of the MLCC's, some are huge, others very small. But, I'm going to venture a guess that if you manage to accumulate a pound or two (or three) of them, you could probably stand a good chance at getting an ounce. All it takes is a little extra time on the boards...and to have a good supply of them coming in. |

About how many do you think are on a motherboard?

What about aluminum capacitors? Are they worth anything?

I personally have lots of time on my hands, being on school holidays. So I take all that I can get off the circuit board, so yes I take the aluminum capacitors off. I also take off: gold plated connectors (gold) Tantalum Capacitors (Tantalum) Monolithic capacitors (Palladium, Silver) Aluminum Heat Sinks (Aluminum) Transistors (Copper Bearing Motor) Fuses (Brass Ends) Relay (Copper Bearing Motor) Motors/transformers (Copper Bearing Motor) Red contain Gold Blue contain Copper or place in Copper Bearing Motor Purple contain Aluminum or place in Irony Aluminum Black contain Brass Green contain Tantalum The rest of them my recycling depot accept as Steel, they don't buy circuit boards separately.  |

The purple one is an aluminium capacitor, the others are just componants that contain different metals

So basically they aren't worth anything right? Oh yeah, and I just got what you done there with the picture. Thanks a lot, that really helps!  |

No they are not worth much. I sell them for $0.25 AUD per kg roughly 10c USD per pound

Okay yeah, I think I figured out what they are. What are the other capacitors worth?

I have seen Monolithic Ceramic Capacitors sell for around $10-15 an ounce.
I have not looked for tantalum capacitors.

 I was wondering if anyone knows what this is. I got it out of the cash register. I was going to fix it, but it was completely messed up and wouldn't respond to anything, so I just scrapped it. It looks like a transformer, but I don't know for sure.  |
