    Yes that is correct...and many here smash them in the shred pile and grab the board or two and memory if it has in it and move on. It's good that your learning what's in what tho.

    Ok.. But wouldn't a yard pay you a little better, even for the tin, if you went ahead and removed all of the plastic components?

    No. In this case tin=thin metal and not actual real tin. Appliances and many things you find on the curb go in the shred pile and a small % of non-metal is acceptable.
