I believe usually board shops will have scrap pieces laying around and will send you some if you ask. I've also seen them use scrap material to sandwich production boards for shipment to protect them. And we usually get scrap boards for testing and h

Look for a local smelting service. They will take your boards (in bulk, we used to send them 300lbs at a time) and then credit you back for the precious metals recovered (gold, silver, platinum, etc...) minus any fees for service. Shipping costs a
