Before you visit

**Drop-off prep:** sign out of all accounts on devices, run a factory reset, remove SIM cards and SD cards, and pull lithium-ion batteries from laptops and power tools where the design allows. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip - hours and accepted items shift seasonally.

Modern integrated smelters (Aurubis, Umicore, Boliden) can recover the precious metals embedded in circuit boards. Drop-off sites like this one are the first link in that recovery chain.
