I would seriously reconsider breaking them down unless you really know what you are doing. From the research I've done, I am pretty sure that They have a variety of other nasty chemicals in them, especially the 'tar' that everything is packed in. I remember a thread on here that discussed it.

non-pcb ballst can be sold at some scrap yards as steal. I even have an e-srap buyer in orlando, fl that buys them. Go to www.arcoa.com, send them a email from teir web site and they will send you a price list. They have several locations around the contry. The old ballast from 1970 or earlyer are very toxic, I don't even touch them.
