I have a few questions on hard drives. I am not a big time scrapper, I do it as a hobby compared to others. I have lots of computer scrap as I have worked on computers for well over 30 years now. Anyway I have lots of old hard drive scrap. I enjoy taking apart old drives and have quite a bit of old hard drive parts. I have drive motors and also the head drives that reads the platters. I have a few 5 gallon buckets of the drive motors and other parts. I see a lot of aluminum I can salvage. But the local scrap yards just rate as copper,iron,aluminum,etc and would rate this as scrap. Would it be worth melting the aluminum somehow or just tossing it in the iron/steel scrap? If its worth melting down how is the best/cheapest way to do it?
