    Vaccuums are one of my fav things to scrap You got your motor, the extra long nice copper cable, metal hose, plus any attachments for it I am usually able to sell off real cheap online
    Here in Australia I am lucky as we get a recycle bin which is emptied fortnightly, and I have checked with my local council area and am fine to place plastic shells from vaccuums, printers etc in there. I would be in heaven with 150 vaccuums to break down Heck I would even settle for 25

    Most yards don't worry about a little bit of plastic's and you can throw some of that in with you lite iron loads. I wouldn't go crazy, but if you have 10% would be fine it all gets ground up and shipped out and rubber and plastic go to land fills for covering then they put sand over that, and the land fills pay for the covering they call ... Fluff....works good for holding the methane in the ground that they sell to the gas company's so there is money in everything we recycle
