The point of this video: While they're mining this material in Africa we are dumping it in landfills Stateside. Something to think about while we're stuck in traffic.

It's great that your yard has a website. The one I go to has no site and I don't know what stuff is worth that day till I go and ask.

You are the best👍 thanks for the info, very useful !

You will also find a lot of tantalum caps in military or aircraft grade equipment, often with a silvered metal can package. And here is what tantalum caps looked like in russian electronics www.155la3.ru/k52_3.htm

Yeah I know it's strange I called them then had my wife call and double check before I left sure enough I did get the quote except for the broken boards for some reason they brought a little less I had almost 150 lbs between loe grade and telecom so I took a lose on close to 40 lbs high grade so I didn't have to send it off but made some up on low grade. I wanted to send off for 3.65 a lb for quoted telecom but heard so many bad things about the two large companies.has anyone had experience postive or negative with mail in companies thanks for your time scrappers

There is not Coltan (tantalum) mining in Rwanda , Rwandese coltan come from DR Congo where Rwanda regime is killing people and destabilising Eastern of Congo in order to access coltan. That s why there is mineral conflict in Congo and multinational companies are getting coltan from Congo throught Rwanda .

4:08 ~~~> I think they are 10μF tantalum capacitors; 4:33 ~~~> also look like tantalum capacitors; 5:20 ~~~> looks like silicon diodes. I don't think tantalum is used for diodes. If the componente is represented by a "C" in the circuit board, is probably a capacitor. If it is represented by a "CR" it probably means "current rectifier" (a diode). This is all just my guess, I might be wrong.

I believe that the cr designation is correct. Those would not be ta.

The small Tantalum pieces can they be any color or only yellow thank you

Can i replace tantalum capacitors with electrolytic ones of the same value?

I'm new to ewaste recycling and thinking of opening a shop! All the buyers are paying way to low in the Dallas area! I want people to get there monies worth while making a few bucks in the process! I use a lot of your videos for a guide thanks buddy!

Here is something I use all the time for ref. Hopefully it is useful to you all. There are some older ones that you will probably want to find refs on but usually you can find old electronics repair manuals that show great refs. www.electronicsandyou.com/blog/electronic-components-parts-and-their-function.html

Nema Fatima kod nas u bivsoj Yugi ni svesti o tome a ni kolicine dovoljne za to. Ja sam iz Srbije i ovde na otpaima i ne znaju sta je elek.otpad a i ne otkupljuju ga po realnim cenama vec kao obican krs. Ja vec 2.god."scrapujem"i skupljam sirovinu poput-gold pins-a,gold fingers-a,tantalum resistors i ostale rare earth sirovine(neomidijumske magnete,tick tin resistors....)i nadam se danu kad ce to neko hteti da otkupi a do tad sta mogu dovedem do stanja da prerada bude sto laksa. Do sad sam odradio 100-150 desktop racunara i oko 200-300 lap-topova i cega jos i sve ustekao i dalje skupljam pako zna jednog dana.... Pozdrav iz Srbije

Do you ever keep vintage and rare computers you find, like old IBMs, Tandys and Apples? There are definitely collectors out there that would love some of the things that get scrapped.
