What's the most useless waste of time thing you've ever broken down for scrap?

That being said, there are many things I have broken down completely and will never do them again:
Printers - take what is easy, the rest in shred.
vcrs - pull wires and Aluminum motor mount, the rest in shred.
radios - cut cord, shred
toasters - cut cord, shred
coffee makers - cut cord, Junk!

I pretty much agree with you except don't forget the heating wires from the toaster (not sure what's in the coffee maker for heat) cause that is ni-chrome wire.
