I am looking for a company that will recover precious metal from old
computer parts.  Ideally I would like to be able to send them the
parts and then they would send me the recovered metal.  If that is not
an option I would take a report of the metals recovered and their
quantity and then a transfer of funds for the recovered materials.

Hello,

Here's a company (Metals Reclaimation Services, Inc.) that I found in
California which will do exactly what you're after. They offer a price
list (see below) for what you can expect per pound for different
electronic parts, a pro/con debate on whether you should process or
outright sell scrap, and a case study of how their company turned
around a $20,000 profit on scrap to over $160,000 in a year. Please
read the links below for more information and a kit explaining what
the company does and how to prepare should you choose their services.
Finally here's their contact information, although you can also go to
their webpage.
