How to Collect Precious Metals to Raise Funds for Your Favorite Causes

You have items lying around your house that contain valuable precious metals. Other people in your community have them too.

So, here’s a simple idea for a way to help your favorite cause – whether it’s a school, a religious institution, a hospital, or your favorite charity . . .

Conduct a community drive to collect those items, then send what you collect to Specialty Metals Smelters and Refiners. We will process what you collect and send you a check for the full current market value of the gold, silver, platinum and other precious metals they contain. You can then donate that money to the cause of your choice.

Presto, you have just done a lot of good. And you did it by unlocking the value that was hiding in precious metals that were waiting to be recycled.

To Conduct Your Collection Drive

Contact the institution you want to support. Explain that you want to lead a community-wide collection drive to benefit their organization. Publicize the event in local newspapers, local online newsletters, on Facebook, and other social media platforms. Pick a location where people can bring what they want to donate. Specify the days when you will hold your drive. Line up some bins and storage containers where you can collect what people donate. Then sit back and let the donations start.

Items to Collect that Contain Precious Metals

  • Cellphones

  • Remote control devices

  • Old VCRs, televisions, DVD and CD players

  • Stereo components and radios

  • Old eyeglasses and eyeglass frames

  • Old computers, printers, modems and other peripherals

  • Digital cameras and video recorders

And a Special Note about Reel-to-Reel Movies and Photographic and Xray Film

Consider conducting a drive to collect these materials too. They contain small quantities of silver that Specialty Metals Smelters and Refiners can reclaim for you.

Although it might seem that it is not worth reclaiming these very small amounts of silver, think again. In your community, there could be much more of this material than you expect. Most every home has old film negatives, and many have old reel-to-reel movies.

Even though silver is trading at low prices, you can still raise money if you can collect large quantities of photographic and other films. Don’t write off this source of money! Start collecting it and start raising money.
