Floppies are a PITA and yield very little. I sell them as a unit for .30 per # or put them on Ebay as a lot of 15 and try to get .50 per pound. As Auburn stated, CD boards are so easy to get too, that it makes sence pull them. I place the casing in the shred pile and the innards in another pile for when I have little work and feel like breaking them down in-between commercial breaks of a movie my wife and I are watching. If you got a lot of them, you should probably go ahead and shread the rest as the second step does't yield as much as taking off the board and its a lost more time consuming. I'm pretty sure you more than double your money this route althoughI can't remember the numbers.



HD boards are def worth removing. Given the PITA factor of hard drives, if your not worried about the information contents I would sell the HD as a whole aftetr you remove the board
