    Anything that I consider not worth my time to break down, goes to the county drop off for no pay.

    I was breaking down VCR and DVD players for a while. Then found out those brown boards are only worth about 0.10 a pound. So, why bother? The big companies are better suited for breaking that stuff down.



    I've just been stacking my keyboards for now. I do think I'll retrieve the silver mylar sheets from them at some point once there is a demand for Ag again.

    When you break down keyboards, put the keys aside. Crafter's like them.
