    Here is the real reason: They just don't want printers and had to make something up as a reason why. A while back a newer scrap yard told me they don't take printers because of the Mercury inside. One day I was talking to the owner and he told me as long as they are mostly metal they can take them. My point is that scrap yards tell people all kinds of crazy crap all the time, based on who knows what, for reasons unknown to anyone. Sometimes I feel like when you ask them a question they just go and draw an answer out of a hat.
