Make Quick Genuine Money from e-wastes (Earn in Gold)
Well since you are reading this post from a mobile or computer (desktop/laptop) whatever it is, I assume you must be aware of basic computer components like Hard Drives, Motherboards, RAMs, CPU, etc as well as the SIM of your phone.
Till now you most of you must have alternated and changed so many components of your systems and dumped the old parts in trash.
But what if I tell you that you could have make money out of them !
Yes, even if your old components were not in working conditions anymore, each of them contained some of the most valuable metals like Copper, Silver, Gold, Neodymium Magnets and so much more !
However its not too late... e-wastes are everywhere ! In quantities much larger then you have thrown away.
You can easily find them near you from platforms like ebay, alibaba, etc.
Here are some links that will help you out with it:
https://www.ebay.com/bhp/computer-scrap
Just Google with tags like 'Computer Scraps near me' or 'CPU Scraps near me' and etc...
And then there are several videos on youtube to help you out with the rest of the process...
Here are some of the most effective ways I found out to be helpful:
You can find many alternative ways for the same purpose just with the help of Google and Youtube.
However, if you are afraid of chemicals then you can also go for mechanical extraction of another useful component known as Neodymium Magnets.
Nickel-plated neodymium magnet can be found on the brackets from a hard disk drives.
A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB or Neo magnet), the most widely used type of rare-earth magnet, is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron to form the Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure.
They are found in hard drives and can be easily extracted with the help of simple tools and you can sell them online easily (they are in demand).
Watch a tutorial here:
Well, if you are still wondering exactly how much gold or money can you make out using these processes in home, I will tell you the figures too.
Different CPUs have different quantity of gold in them. We are giving here a list of gold quantity in 1 Kg. different CPUs :
Gold Quantity in Grams(In 1Kg. CPUs):
Cyrix Cx486 : 5.17 grams
IBM 5x86C : 4.8 grams
486 DX2-80 : 4.3 grams
i 486 SX : 4.2 grams
i 486 TX486DLC : 6.72 grams
AMD : 6.15 grams
Cyrix 6x86 : 4.83 grams
IBM 6x86MX PR200 : 5.75 grams
Cyrix MII : 4.32 grams
Intel Pentium (light weight) : 10.08 grams
Intel Pentium (heavy weight): 8.00 grams
Pentium PRO : 11.40 grams
WinChip C6-PSME200GA : 5.80 grams
Intel i435 DX4 : 8.50 grams
Intel i486 : 8.60 grams
i processor : 6.80 grams
Intel Pentium MMX : 4.00 grams
AMD-K6-2 : 5.00 grams
AMD (brown fiber) : 7.90 grams
While Gold contents are higest in CPU(s), other components can be profitable too !
1 Kg. SIM cards of cell phones have 1.75 grams of gold.
1 Kg of RAM will give you somewhere between 1.2 grams to 1.5 grams of gold.
However gold content in Motherboards, and other parts are relative much lower, and should be avoided for basis home extraction methods.
However if you have turned curious about the topic, and you are not able to hold your greed for gold, I will tell you about industrial methods as well.
By now you must have been aware of the profit which you can make out of e-wastes, but now if you want to make Gold by serious e-waste recycling, there are plenty of plants and machineries which will allow you to do so in large quantities.
Check out this catalog for more details:

I guess there is no better way to make money by recycling wastes !!! And there's no greater pleasure than to earn in Gold !
Once you extract the Gold you can sell them, hold them, do whatever you feel like.!!! - enjoy... !!!
