Laptops are one of the great items that you can look for for scrapping. While most scrap yards do not accept monitors, many yards that take electronics will take the laptop screens as long as they are attached to the laptops themselves.
Scrapping Laptop Screens & Other Computer Parts
The laptop screens are not CRTs (Cathode Ray Tubes) and do not have many of the harmful gases and lead dust elements as some of the older monitors. They do have to be treated correctly, so make sure that your local scrap yard knows how to handle them correctly.
Laptop Parts Are More Expensive…

From the hard drives to the power supplies, all of the components have to be made not only smaller, but also just as efficient so that the brand laptop continues to accrue customer loyalty and good business going forward.
