This is pretty great. Staff sometimes ask me at work if we recycle old electronics, to which I can truthfully say yes. I don’t mention that the recycling process begins by soaking it all in acid…
Some of the chemicals that go into making circuit boards are pretty nasty too. When I was learning about them, arsenic was a component of semiconductors. I don’t know much about the chemistry, but I think having that in your air or leaching into your groundwater would be bad news.

Is it better than just burning/burying it?
