Free of all fluids, gases, drosses, sweepings and hazardous materials such as mercury switches. All foreign attachments, non-metallics, iron, and extraneous materials are deductible. Should be sold on a recovery basis or by special arrangements with purchaser.
Heavy Breakage: 20%–45% Aluminum content
Medium Breakage: 46%–60% Aluminum content
Light Breakage: 61%–80% Aluminum content

ESM 2-Depot—Mixed Copper/Precious Metals
May include any whole or partially demanufactured EOL electronic products that are destined for a recycling processing operation. Material may contain printed circuit boards, ribbon cable, monitor yokes and other copper and/or precious metal bearing components. Final acceptance subject to agreement between Buyer and Seller.

ESM 3-Dallas—Shredded Copper/Precious Metals
Shredded copper/precious metal bearing from an end of life electronic products (EOLEP) shredding operation, with the majority of iron and aluminum removed. Material may contain plastic. The size will be less than one inch and the material will be free of mercury, toner, and batteries. Typically sold on a recovery basis, subject to terms between the Buyer and Seller.

ESM 4-Dallas 5—Shredded Copper/Precious Metals
Shredded copper/precious metal bearing from an end of life electronic products (EOLEP) demanufacturing operation. Material may contain large quantities of steel, aluminum and plastic. Pieces will be greater than one inch but less than 5 inches. Material will be free of mercury, toner, and batteries. Typically sold on a recovery basis, subject to terms between the Buyer and Seller.

ESM 5-Druid—Insulated Copper Wire Scrap
Shall consist of copper wire scrap with various types of insulation. To be sold on a sample or recovery basis, subject to agreement between Buyer and Seller.

ESM 6-Brant—Fragmentizer Aluminum Scrap (from EOL
Electronic Products Shredders) The material, as received, must be dry and not contain more than 3% maximum free zinc, 1% maximum free magnesium, and 1.5% maximum free iron and stainless. Not to contain more than a total 5% maximum of non-metallics, of which no more than 1% shall be rubber and plastics. To be free of excessively oxidized material, airbag canisters, or any sealed or pressurized items. Any variation to be sold by special arrangement between Buyer and Seller.

ESM 7-Marco—Recyclable Concentrates Of Shredded Mixed
Nonferrous Scrap Metal in Pieces—Derived From Fragmentizers For Further Separation of Contained Materials Shall be made up of a combination of the nonferrous metals: aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, stainless steel, nickel, tin, and zinc, in elemental or alloyed (solid) form. The percentage of each of these metals within the nonferrous concentrate shall be subject to agreement between Buyer and Seller, may vary from shredder to shredder and may, in some cases, be zero for a particular metal. Shall be obtained by air separation, flotation, screening, eddy current, other segregation technique( s) or a combination of the same. Shall have passed one or more magnets to reduce or eliminate free iron and/or iron attachments. Shall be free of radioactive material, dross or ash. May be screened to permit description by specific size ranges. May contain high density non-metallics such as rock, glass, rubber, plastic and wood. Items of exclusion, inclusion or limitation not set out in the above specifications, such as moisture and free iron and/or attachments or the presence or absence of other metals, are subject to agreement between Buyer and Seller. Material to be traded under this guideline shall be identified as Marco with a number to follow indicating the estimated percentage nonferrous metal content of the material (e.g. Marco 63—means the material contains approximately 63% nonferrous metal content).
