    Aren’t they buying our waste to extract the precious metals? So now we basically sell the waste to them pre-extracted

      Mint is only interested in one metal.

      Others exist in e waste. Somi assume it would just be reduced price.

      Of course I am in no way agreeing the exporting of dangerous heavy metal waste etc is a good thing. Just not likely completely unwanted.
