I post on Craigslist and freecycle that I recycle electronics, with some restrictions, and I also have built relationships with scrap yards that don't want to mess with escrap themselves and I usually pay them for it. I also have a business I get stuff for free from about once a month, another guy was doing that for them but needed to stop.
Most of that has developed over time and from being conversational. For instance, taking a load of scrap to a yard and ask if they also take escrap, and guage their response. If they say no, did they say it with regret, like they have a trailer full of random scrap? If they say yes then ask for prices. You're already on Boardsort, so you have a general idea on price ranges. If they're rock bottom, they may not have a buyer, tell them you recycle escrap and if they're interested you would be happy to talk to them more and offer to leave your name and number.
Keep an eye out for other people who repair/scrap/upcycle too, maybe you get stuff that you prefer not to deal with but they want. Tell them you have it and how often you might have more. Over time you may be able to get stuff from them.
