I have to agree with you on this Dee. I also put a lot of stuff in washer and dryer drums, but like most of us here it is small metal stuff. It is too easy for a yard to open a door and see that you are trying to put one over on them. I would rather have them open the door and see that I am trying to give them a good value, which puts me on their "preferred" list (if they had one). When I take stuff apart if some of the pieces is nothing but plastic, it does not go in the drums, it goes in the trash. This is all within reason of course. If I am taking the aluminum cooler out of the freezer portion of the refrigerator and some plastic is removed, the plastic goes in the trash. But at the same time I am not going to intentionally try and remove all the plastic I can from a fridge.
