I still break them down completely, even the mostly plastic ones. I think I'm just so...anal about scrapping - taking something down until it can't be broken down any more. lol, I lose sleep if I think I have ''cheated'' myself. the plastic I just throw away because my yard will accept whole vacuums so the plastic from a dehumidifier doesn't add much to my garbage in the long run.
obviously finding the older all metal ones are great but IMO the more ''mostly plastic'' stuff I find = the more it takes to make money but in the end its still money I didn't have in my pocket before.
I guess its just a matter of what each individual wants to do.
