Hard Drives: what do you do?

**theelectronrecycler** · 10-07-2012, 04:48 PM

I break all of my hard drives down to seperate parts, The boards go to my buyer, the platters get made into the world's most expensive wind chimes (hahahaha) , the aluminum goes into either a sheet or cast bucket, the magnets get saved (for what i do not know) , the plastic gets saved until i make a plastics run. Almost forgot the screws, they go into my screws bucket, unless they are aluminum or stainless steel or brass, if so, they go into their prospective buckets.

I have a strange addiction for breaking things down to the fullest. This normally means that I am making less than $2\hr, still, it is fun and I enjoy it.

I am this same way.. All I'm really doing to that large pile of stuff is tearing stuff down into other piles of stuff, until it's all broken down to the fullest extent.
