Description of Materials Recycled |
|
ECS’ facilities in Terrell, Texas and Santa Clara, California accept a wide variety of metal bearing residues for recycling. All storage and processing of these materials is in-doors, with careful attention to protection of the environment. Assured destruction of proprietary materials is available at both facilities. |
|
The following types of materials are recycled at both facilities:
-
Electronics scrap
- Printed Circuit Boards
- Obsolete and waste computers
- Computer peripherals
- Electronics manufacturing and test equipment
- Integrated circuits
-
Residues containing precious and high value metals
- Sweeps, powders, pulps, dust
- Meltables
- Slags
- Burnables
- Concentrates
- Catalysts
- Silver wire
- Plating wire
- Carbon
- Resins
- Acids and sludges with precious metals
- Plated parts
-
Residues containing high value metals, such as
- High temperature alloys
- Tantalum
- Indium
- Nickel
- Titanium
- Tungsten

Precious Metals Description
We process millions of pounds of precious metal bearing materials annually. Gold, Silver, Palladium, and Platinum are recovered from printed circuit boards, integrated circuits and other components, circuit board trim, router dust, pastes, wipes, sweeps, plated and inlaid metals, fabricated parts, ores and concentrates. The utmost care is taken to ensure the integrity of materials during processing. Our process schedules accommodate lots of any size. |
The following types of material containing precious metals are recycled:
|
|
- Printed circuit boards
- Electronic components
- Manufacturing scrap and residues
- Telecommunication equipment
- CRTs and monitors
- Computer scrap
- Sweeps, powders, pulps, dust
- Meltables
- Slags
- Burnables
|
- Concentrates
- Catalysts
- Silver wire
- Plating wire
- Carbon
- Resins
- Acids and sludges with precious metals
- Plated parts
- Test equipment

High-Value Metals
A wide variety of residues containing tantalum, indium, nickel, titanium, tungsten, and other high-value metals are processed in various ways to recover the metal value. Processes for residues containing these, and other high value metals, are developed on a case-by-case basis to remove impurities and produce salable products. Contact us about recovering the value from your residue.
Process Capabilities
ECS has broad capability to process precious and high-value metals. We use several different types and sizes of smelting and refining furnaces, and have installed a number of hydrometallurgical and physical separation processes as well. |

ECS’ skilled technicians disassemble scrap commercial and military jet engines and engine components into their component high-temperature alloys, at our facility in Terrell, Texas. These alloys are sold as high-temperature metallic scrap. Sophisticated testing procedures are used to segregate the individual alloys to maximize their value. |
