    The fridge & freezer compressors have to be cut open & the copper wire removed.

    Its easy with a big 9 inch grinder (harder & costlyer if its a 5inch or smaller) or a plasma cutter, messyer with a oxy torch & with possibly very dangerous fumes. (it's still filla oil & CFC's)

    The microwave. Read all the info here in different threads. Basicly its gotta 1Kg Copper wire transformer, maybe a smaller one too. Don't break the Magnatron apart, just rubbish it, the pink insulator has a dangerous compound, Berryllium oxide in it.
