Last updated: February 2026
This page provides a detailed, transparent, and UK-focused guide to the scrap price for PCB from hard disk drive (rectangle shape – medium). If you are recycling IT scrap, decommissioned computers, or bulk electronic waste, understanding the real value of hard drive PCBs helps you maximise returns while staying compliant with UK recycling standards.
Hard disk drive PCBs contain recoverable precious metals and high-grade components, making them a valuable category within electronic scrap. Our pricing structure in UK is designed for individuals, IT departments, repair shops, and recycling partners seeking reliable and fair PCB recycling services.
What Is a Hard Disk Drive PCB (Rectangle Shape – Medium)?
A hard disk drive PCB is the control board mounted on the underside of traditional HDDs. The medium rectangle shape PCB is common in desktop and laptop hard drives and contains integrated circuits, connectors, and layered copper traces.
These boards are distinct from full computer motherboards but still hold value due to gold-plated contacts, IC chips, and high-density circuitry. Recycling these PCBs responsibly in UK reduces landfill waste and supports sustainable metal recovery.
Scrap Price Factors for Hard Drive PCBs in UK
The scrap value of HDD PCBs depends on several measurable factors:
- Component density and IC chip quantity
- Gold-plated edge connectors and contacts
- Board condition (intact vs damaged)
- Quantity supplied (bulk vs small batches)
- Current refining and commodity market rates
