I'm currently working on an art project that requires non-functional PCBs purely for aesthetic purposes. I'm looking for the best ways to source these junk PCBs that don't need to connect to anything or serve a functional role. Any suggestions?

Reaching out to colleges could be a smart move. They often have leftover junk from engineering projects. Plus, don’t overlook thrift shops like Goodwill; you can find old electronics there to dismantle.
Check out local second-hand stores. They often have odd electronics lying around. An iFixit kit could also help if you find some interesting pieces!
You can grab a box of random scrap PCBs pretty cheaply on eBay. It's a good option if you're looking for variety without spending too much.
