Any company reclaiming desired metals will be interested. Some of the companies also take used PCB's for the metal content. It is not very profitable but does help. Metal reclaim companies can be found on the net. One company that might be interested

ADLSMT- I do not know of any standard but do know each town, city, county, and state have different governing rules. Some require a fire suppression system and some insurances require this as well. As far as Supplies go we get most of our stuff from
