I once toured a company facility where they had developed a processing operation for pulling the precious metals out of tons of networking equipment. I don't remember the exact figures, but they were pulling more precious metals out (X) tons of computer equipment using their process than could be removed form the same amount of raw ore in a mining operation. They were and R&D operation and sold the process to another company, but it makes wonder why anybody is paying to recycle computer equipment when it could be turned into a profitable business.
