the tab arrays.  They are located in Chigago, IL.  Their phone number is

Subject: [TN] Scrap PCB's Recycled


 ----------------------Please Help!---------------------
Some time ago there were some postings on the TechNet that referenced
companies that purchase scrap PCB's.  I think they also mentioned
that they purchase scrap IC tubes, etc.  I believe they recycle them.  Does
anyone remember the name of
the company(s) that purchase this material?  They might have been located

in Chicago or the Midwest .  I have searched the IPC archives but was
not successful in locating those postings.
Thank You in advance.
