Most of the time if I get things with plasctic and metal on them I just try to leave the plastic attached to the metal and throw it into my shred pile for the scrapyard. Usually if it is at least 50% metal, my yard will take it all as light iron since they have that priced in.
Is the issue with the LCD's the tiny little fluorescent backlights ? Maybe they contain small amounts of mercury like the CFL's do ?



Maybe they would be okay if the backlights were removed and properly recycled ?
