Not exactly true as I recycle ewaste and electronics. There are a couple or brown boards in there, some wire and the metal things you are talking about are electric motors....generally 2 (for FF and RW)...but some may have a couple of others that are smaller. Depends on how much time you want to spend...if not, in the shred pile it goes...no reason to leave something that small and easy to deal with.

Up here shred works out to $0.07/lb and ewaste is $0.09/lb, ...including the old (wooden) console TV's. Clip the cord and into the ewaste pile for me if I don't want to tear it apart.
